PL = CTCSS, by default, you'll hear it without a tone set.
You should have a digital scanner so you can monitor https://www.radioreference.com/apps/db/?sid=6949 but Comanche county currently uses https://www.radioreference.com/apps/db/?sid=844
453.9 is deprecated.

Put a good antenna on both and the 8 watt will of course have more reach.
Understand that VHF is largely line of sight, and you'll be having problems with obstructed and uneven terrain and greatly cut the range of your signal down. If you just want hunting radios get a GMRS or FRS radio and call it good, unless you really want to get into ham radio or are already licensed.
Short answer, just buy the 8 watt and a good antenna, because people get really, really, really worked up over those extra three watts, just because bigger seems better, and in the end, you'll save yourself hours of second guessing and having other people who went for "ZOMG TEH WATTS!" question your choice of the 5 watt. Me, personally? I'd go 5 watt, an upgraded antenna and carry a a dipole and adapter in my pack, but that's a whole 'nother can of worms.
Get these three things, and you'll be good.
