Regarding AIS, take one that comes with built-in antena split (Icom receivers, Raymarine/Westmarine transponders, etc) it will simplify installation. AIS baudrate on older NMEA 0183 is higher than standard (38K4 bps) requiring prompt receive of information to be effective on target/sector calculation (like gyros), so it's not a good idea buffering it in a MUX at lower speeds to the plotter. It's wise to run it directly at the specified baudrate. I second SD too, Icom is the best choice on VHF.
