I just love UPS flat out. Whenever I see the big brown truck pull up to my house, I nearly run out there and shake his hand, because I know something good is coming
So the best way to determine which courier you are going to choose is to go to a local place, say Staples, or a specialized mailing center, and find out prices by UPS and prices by FED-EX, normally UPS will be cheaper, and insurance is around .50 cents USD for $100 USD worth.
They're ALWAYS on time with their deliverys.
