Nothing wrong with the "right" YJ Get a 6 and manual. If you can find one get one with a hard top. If you get a soft top and want to buy a hard top later, you also need to get hard top doors. You can modify a CJ hard top to fit, but you still need to get the hard doors.
They are pretty reliable, and stupid easy to work on, and parts are easy top come by. Mileage isn't the best. Watch out for rust--if you find one with diamond plate corners and sills, check and see what that diamond plate is hiding.
The hardest part will be finding a good one which is reasonably priced. Ones that aren't modded or trashed seem to hold their value well.
Several months back when my wife's Cherokee bit it, I bought a '10 Wrangler as my her DD with soft top and only 10,000 miles. I wouldn't call it the most practical car, but it serves her needs well--she can fit the groceries in there, and if we need more room, the rear seat folds down and is also removable(as on the YJ). It did great during the recent heavy snows we had.
And I have to say it is alot of fun driving.
