If you want a frequency reference. There is nothing better than GPS. In fact it you bought a Rubidium you would still need the GPS so you could calibrate its frequency.
Some GPSes might be noisy but then you can lock a good double oven crystal oscillator to it and have what they call a "GPS disciplined crystal oscillator or "GPSDO".
