I've used the Spot 2 and 3 units quite a bit as well as the InReach SE. The big advantage of the Spot 3, to the overlander, is the ability to easily power it with the vehicle's power source. Saves oodles on batteries. Through our Overland International team's many travels around the globe, we've found the Spot coverage usually exceeds expectations, but does have some noteworthy dark spots. The InReach uses the more advanced Iridium satellite network with superb reliability. We used that satellite system to communicate to Scott Brady to/from the South Pole which is quite an endorsement.
I could go into more detail, but I'd still suggest the InReach SE, or the new InReach Explorer.
