Was thinking if I get some mad money to invest in something to give me better yardages. Which would you buy if price wasn't an issue, a GPS device or rangefinder?

Rangefinder. You can get a distance to anything from anywhere and it is more accurate that a GPS. Bushnell has the Medalist coming out in March with Pinseeker technology that was only found in the high end models until now with a retail expected to be $299. It works on any course in the world, does not require any down loads, and there is never any additional expense except maybe a battery which I have yet to wear out in my current model in almost 3 years of use. If I did not already have a rangefinder, this puppy would be heading towards Orlando as soon as I could order it.
A note on Pinseeker Technology. On the older Bushnell models without Pinseeker, it could be very hard to pick up the pin/flag combination when there was no wind due a more reflective object reflecting more of the beam back to the unit giving you a wrong distance. Pinseeker takes all of the various distance readings from different objects and provides only the distance to the closest object which is the pin/flag. Pretty simple and elegent technology that vastly improves a range finder's performance.
