I don't know who has the best/cheapest GPS these days, but we have used the VincoTech A1035D (formerly the Tyco A1035) in the past. There's even a sample script for it already, look in your snappyImages directory for gpsNmea.py.

If you go looking for a better GPS, things to consider (in addition to cost) are antenna sensitivity and how long it takes the GPS to RE-acquire the satellites when it wakes back up from sleep.
