Jump Packs
Thinking hard about buying one of these to carry on the bike, but would like one strong enough to start my suburban too. A small one would also be nice for the bike. Any suggestions on which one to buy ?

The HD brand one works great. I've used it to start my bike and my pick up truck.

I got the HD booster pack, it appears to be a NOCO 40 in a HD wrap. The HD version has smaller alligator clips to get in tight spaces, i.e. right to the starter stud. I also picked up the NOCO pigtail, NOCO 009. It features an 8 ga. pigtail to the battery and an adapter with an SAE universal plug so you can plug into the pigtail with your smart charger. If you need to jump the bike, just connect the booster pack to the pigtail ( no need for the clips) and away you go. Or jump your truck using the clips. Google NOCO GBC 009 and you should see it on Amazon.

The pigtail he's recommending is the one Noco makes specifically for jump starting and charging.

Whichever one you choose..Be sure to keep it charged. I gave one to each of my daughters when they started driving their own cars. When one of them eventually needed to use it, whattya know...they'd never bothered to keep it charged.
Also:
DO NOT LEAVE IT IN YOUR SADDLEBAGS, IN THE GARAGE, IN THE SUMMER. Those Lithium ion batteries are really great, but they don't handle heat very well and will swell up and become useless in short order.
