So I am looking to go to one of the pay as you go plans since w/o a contract I would have more flexibility of my money month to month.
T-Mobile on a $100 perpaid card gets me 1000 minutes ($0.10 per min).
Cingular & Verizon - $0.25 per minute or $1 daily access fee and $0.10 per minute (the $1 is charged once a day if my phone is used that day).
I am leaning towards T-mobile now, but I was wondering if anyone had any experience with any of these plans or know of any other wireless phone companies.

BAMF,
I'm not sure which services you've used in the past, but from my experience, Cingular is by far one of the absolute worst out there. I rarely ever was able to complete a conversation with anyone without losing the call. Verizon isn't bad, but I think it could be better.
From what I've heard and read, T-Mobile and US Cellular are supposed to be the best two.
Of course, I also think your location plays a part in how good service will be. For example, US Cellular seems to be rated the best in Chicago, but T-Mobile seems to do better in other locations.
The only ones I can say I will never, ever, EVER do business with again are AT&T and Cingular.
