Verizon tends to have better coverage than other carriers.

Even if you don't plan on using cellular-data (i.e. - Verizon service), get the Verizon model anyway, for two reasons:

1) Only the cellular-service models have a built-in GPS (Wifi-only models do not).
2) You can turn on the cellular service on a month-by-month basis - no multi-year contracts like cell-phones.

With the cellular-service turned off you can still use WiFi for data.
