I'd check with local ag dealers for your system. We have specialists to assist in the purchase that are sent to schools to better understand the operation of them as well as the benifits.
I know that many feel all tractors are the same but from spending the last 35 years with them there are difference not only in the build of them but the materials used much the same as different GPS units seem to be.
What system they read from will give you more accuracy in the position. Case uses the Trimble system which so far seems to be the most accurate in our hilly areas. The costs of the systems do vary depending on the accuracy needed and the terrain that you are working.

Whatever you get, I would recommend a dual frequency L1/L2 receiver. The next few years are going to be highly solar active and the dual frequency will be a lot more accurate when correcting for errors induced by the ionosphere. With a single frequency antenna they rely on A predetermined model, whereas the dual figures the error on it's own.
You will also get cm accuracy with the right subscription to a corrections provider, but it will cost you, we are paying just shy of 100k per year for our subscriptions, however that's probably overkill for you.
Also, make sure the gps is GLONASS ready as you will get almost double the satellites and of course the more the merrier.

I heard that Kubota was already working with Tremble for future use. May be good to go with them.

Trimble is who Kubota is partnering with, Trimble also provides CNH's units.
I would not go to a Kubota dealer for GPS units. Go to a Case/NH/Deere dealer where people are trained on this stuff.
We also do Outback GPS and have been happy with them.

I think you have to look at the things already mentioned plus what are your needs. There are so many different brands with different options. Are you needing simple guidance for things as spraying and such ... or are you needing more precise with steering, acerage, monitoring, etc .... Also cost ... these things can run from the basic $750 unit to ... well it can get pretty costly.
