Okay, I think this answers my question. I've been running a Garmin GPS
18
LVC for a few years now...
http://www.rjsystems.nl/en/2100-ntpd-garmin-gps-18-lvc-gpsd.php
What this page does not say is that my configuration also includes a
DFC77 receiver. This long-wave radio time signal receiver is an order of
magnitude less precise than the GPS receiver, but it has already proved
its value several times in terms of redundancy: twice when the GPS fell
from the skylight following a suction-cup failure, and once when gpsd
failed to function properly after an update. That's great, but the point
is that there's not much else to it.
Thanks,
Jaap
Indeed, having that backup has been worthwhile for you.
I do like your Web page, and added a pointer to it from mine - I made a
FreeBSD write-up here:

When I bought my second GPS 18 LVC I got the X version (GPS 18x LVC) which
is a lot more sensitive and allows better indoor operation - you may like
to add that to your page where you say the GPS 18 LVC is now obsolete.
Cheers,
David
