car insurance

[arethinn]

I'm curious who-all (in CA) uses what companies for their car insurance, and what your experiences have been. It looks like I may actually be buying a car in the not-too-distant future, and one decision we have to make is whether I want to start my own policy with AAA, or whether I want to switch to another insurance company when I do so. AAA is somewhat of teh debbil, and I hear vague rumour they're worse in terms of service than some others, so tell me who's better. Cost is not exactly a factor here; of course I don't want to pay something way out of line, but at least when checking online quotes, it seems that the rates for what I want to drive and my record are all pretty similar (within $50 or so of one another), so... yeah. Any recommendations, or companies to avoid like the screaming Martian plague?

Don't be sorry, that's exactly the sort of info I'm looking for. I'm trying to find out if it would be worth switching from AAA, so that's useful to me. (Bonus, I live literally down the street from a State Farm agent. Double bonus, I know they do auto insurance in Canada and I can simply tranfer a policy with what I'm told is a minimum of hassle.)
