Get a quality Lensatic with Tritium (Cammenga is one company), yes heavy, but if you are doing actual map work and real orienteering the old fashioned way you'll want more than a small Silva or Suunto.
If using as a Back Up to electronics (GPS, ONX) the Silva Suunto are great... If using for real with a map and no back up. I want to be able to shoot a good azimuth and be most accurate. The weight size is well worth it.

Can anyone suggest a quality compass?
