Can anyone recommend a hex editor that can highlight/annotate sections to make keeping track of reversed binary easier? Bonus points for unix & CLI based.

Try hiew, it's the vim of hex editors. It has a vi-like visual mode (*), bookmarks (+), names (Shift+F12), macros (Ctrl-.), you can add comments (;) and color code sections (Alt-M), built-in assembler for patching, etc, etc. It has a learning curve like vim, but worth it.

wtf hiew is like http://edit.com , windows only, no command mode, limited in file formats and data analysis features and closed source. i don't see how it related to vim at all

I suppose it is reminiscent of edit, is that a problem? There are zero limitations on file format, it's a hex editor (??). I don't know what "data analysis" means, but I do use vim and do a lot of reverse engineering, which feature are you talking about?

FWIW, if it has to be cross-platform and open source, the best alternative I know about is ht (sometimes called hte or hteditor), it still looks like edit so you might not like it! It is a really solid hex editor, but it only has ~10% of the features of hiew.
