What Roadside Assistance Plan is Best?

I have AAA for my personal vehicle and had Good Sam for the Pod.  Time to renew for the Pod and the GS rate is $99 which seems to be to be quite an increase from last year though can't remember for sure....AAA for personal and the Pod is $164 per year.  (I never do multi-year renewals cuz if they don't do well, I want to be able to go with someone else the next year.)  BUT this only includes 4 service calls a year and up to 100 miles.
Coach Net has unlimited service calls and miles.  In looking through reviews on various sites, it seems that Good Sam has variable performance (50% good, 50% poor) while Coach Net seems to have mostly positive reviews.  I've already paid my AAA for my vehicle for the year and can't get a refund so I'm going to add Coach Net's basic service.  Next year, I'll look at their Premier service for $139 which covers everything you own (cars, motorcycles, utility trailers, etc) and possibly drop AAA.  
I have been pleased with AAA's response time in my area.  Coach Net said that unless I was in a really rural area, their response time is 30-45 min.  I'll be trying to ascertain that next year if I decide to drop AAA and do Coach Net exclusively.
