Ive been really happy with RAC - had to call them out last nite - cause Id taken my sister go-karting - I fired my car up - looked across and she couldnt get her clio started - so I jumped out- shut the door behind me and the alarm locked the doors
so we had one car which wouldnt fire - and another which was locked but with the engine running
they were good and sent a guy out- in the end I sorted both cars b4 he got there - so wasnt a problem - - sisters turned out to be an immobolizer fault - just had to lock and unlock car and it was fine - then I used her aerial to knock my rear wiper stalk which popped the boot open 
other than that neevr had to call them out for myself - but Im covered for ne car Im in - so piece of mind is good

Morethan is who i use. they always seemed ok, and not too expensive (i have the basic cover) 
When i had the Ka they were out 6/7 times, always got there within half an hour, and my premium only went up £2 this year! I did used to work there so i knew all the things they offered!

Cheapest is not always the best.
Im with the AA (Discount though Vauxhall Sports car club )
When i was taking the GF back to uni in Cardiff and we was only 20 miles away a water hose let go. Bearing in mind i had already covered 130 miles.......
Being towed all the way back home with a car full of stuff would have really hacked me off - so they took my car home for me and gave me another car.
I know this situation is one of many but on that day i couldnt have asked for better.
No other roadside company offer this at this point.

RAC rule, called them out a few times and they are great. Really friendly and helpful, no reason to doubt them whatsoever. I pay 86 a year and thats roadside and recovery.
