Default HD radio or not (also BT or not)?

Been looking at a bunch of head units (JVC specifically). I like the JVCs because they allow head unit or iPod control of iPods/iPhones. Most other brands don't (eg., Alpine).

Anyhow, most brands follow the same suit:

Head Unit
Head Unit + built in HD Radio
Head Unit + built in BT

I'm wondering if either of the latter two are worth it. I've got no clue about the advantages of HD radio in my area (22902) and surrounding. I'm also a bit skeptical of being about to use a BT mic in a convertible. Although I confess it would be nice to use the speakers as I suspect the built in speakerphone will be useless, in fact I know it is.

Comments / input appreciated.

Thanks,

DT

Worth is always highly subjective (regardless of the topic) and no one can tell you if something is worth it to you.

I don't bother with BT or HD radio in the S but there certainly others that do.
