Check out this link, they will tell you all the radios that will fit. You will need the different harness if you plan on keeping the door chimes and whatnot.

I got my harness from PAC for right around 100 bucks and is IMO the best one available.

Also, your airbags will work just fine without getting one of those modules.

I have a Pioneer DEH-P880PRS. LOVE it. Simply an awesome headunit if you want to be able to adjust everything, especially if you ever want to do an active component setup.

I didn't even have to look it up. It's made by Boss...it's junk.

I would suggest looking at these brands, as they're usually recognized as being "good" companies in terms of headunits: Pioneer, Eclipse, Alpine, JVC, Kenwood, Panasonic, and Clarion. There are definitely other brands that would be ok too, just some suggestions off the top of my head.
