A chartplotter fishfinder combo should meet your connectivity needs. If your boat is older and unlikely to be rewired using a NMEA 2000 Network backbone, you won't need to worry about that capability in the chartplotter.

Many newer chartplotter fishfinders are capable of displaying AIS targets when connected with a receiver. These data are generally transmitted using an NMEA 0183 HS network. This network is 38400 baud and is not compatible with the slower 4800 baud NMEA 0283 system.

In the years that have passed since my first fishfinder, fishing technology has evolved a lot. I still recall seeing the icons of fish on the viewing screen. I remember being a kid and thinking that there was a large fish right under the boat. Although it didn't help me very much, the sonar and depth imagery technology have improved so much that a fish finder can be a great tool to improve your skills. Additionally, we now have great access to geolocation technology (GPS), which is available at very affordable prices. To create a comprehensive picture of your fishing grounds, combine underwater imagery data with location data to create combo units.

Cartography should be considered before purchasing any chartplotter/fishfinder combo units. You might have a specific brand of chartcard or can trade it up.

You'll have one unit to learn and not two. This will reduce the operational learning curve. A combination unit has one disadvantage: you can now put all of your marine electronics eggs into one basket. Most boaters don't find this a problem as failures are rare. You should have a way to get to safety if your boat fails.
