I think having a miniature ADS-B module would be a good idea. Becoming mandatory for manned aircraft, why not sUAS?

Right...go to the uAvionix.com website and choose your ads-b solution. Its more about data integration with the gcs that just the hardware.

if there were a reasonable priced one, I would do it in a minute. the only reason I don't run a chute on mine is because they are ridiculous in cost

Agree....hate to be mandated on things, but I can see it coming. Its all about situational awareness and to that point, there appear to be emerging solutions coming out of the NASA UTM experiments of last year.
Look up IRIS UAS from the [Norwegian] defence contractor Kongsberg.
