The easy answer is: "The one that works!'
Of course you do not find out which is
the one that does not
work until it is too late.

Since you are in the UK, I would suggest Tru or ekit. Both do the AT&T and T-Mobile networks. ekit actually does almost all GSM networks in the USA. If you happen to be travelling to some of the weird GSM places in the US, ekit might be better. I believe Wisconsin is one of those weird GSM places. {'lakes in Wisconsin definitely sound weird.} [As is some of the empty places in the West {Wyoming, Montana} and Maine]
Understand ekit's rates can be more--there is a connection fee that means shorter calls are more expensive, but longer ones would be cheaper. If you are using data, than Tru probably is the better choice.

Pertaining to the thread mentioned below. If you could get both Tru and Ekit along with already having Piranha, it would be braces and a belt and a rope.
The 'research' you mention is probably not "GSM coverage" in Wisconsin, but now it can be!
