I currently use AT&T, and am satisfied with them. My main need was to have coverage in my basement. Most of the other services didn't even get that good of signal on the main floor of my house, but with AT&T my signal is always decent and clear from down here.
The plans and pricing are all the magnificent. When I first signed up, I just got their standard plan, because I wasn't sure how many minutes I would use, and I used it for three months. My first two months I hardly used the cell phone, because not everyone I knew knew my number, and so on and so on. The last month I used a bit more (still much lower than the standard plan), and I switched to a lower minute cheaper plan. They work pretty well.
I'm an abuser of text messaging, so I tacked that on, but I don't really use the mMode junk very much. I'm surrounded by computers most of the time, and when I'm not around them I don't really want to be browsing the internet or what not other junk anyway.
I would ask people you know who have cell phones, ask them what provider they have, how good their signal is from points that may be nearby to where you'd be most likely to use your phone, and so on.
