I think the answer varies significantly in different parts of the US. If you're in fairly central areas of cities with a quarter million or more people, I think all the major companies will work well. Also if you're on the major highways between cities, or at major airports, you should be okay. If those are your main destinations, then I'd base your decision more on price and features.

If you're going to be in smaller towns in the midwest, I've had best signal reception with verizon, although my sprint is digital-only, and maybe their dual-protocol phone would work as well as my verizon. Once you get 10 miles off of a main highway, into a sparsely populated area, service goes to analog, and 20 miles into the sticks you might not get any signal. If you actually live in the sticks, survey people around you about what they have and what sort of signal they get there.
