I have GS and have for more years than I can remember. I have used them a few times for tire changes and one stupid one of running out of diesel.
I truely believe there are pros and cons to both of the ones you mentioned along with the others. There are only so many tow trucks in a given area so you know they all respond to each service.
I can not say what FMCA policy is as far as towing goes. I feel GS towing policy is one of the best.
Good Luck

I have never had any kind of roadside service insurance. Now for years, I have had tow/service reimbursement as part of my auto insurance.
Also, for short times early '70s and again early '80s I worked with/for companies that had contracts with AAA. So my ideas may be distorted.
For the insurance company to make money they must charge more than pay out. This happens 2 ways; First, most people pay in for years, don't need service. And 2nd, and something the customer should look at; They pay the providers, the guy with truck you depend on, a discounted rate. This means if I have a choice of 2 calls, 1 where I will be paid full price as soon as I'm done, or the 1 where I get less money, and need to wait until sometime next month to get it.
I know it is hard for many, but if instead of paying premiums for a separate policy, save that money pay for service as needed. Check for the tow part of comprehensive insurance.

Here's one I hope they pay a discounted rate. $35,000 tow is crazy

I have had Good Sam for years and after 2 fails I am switching to FMCA. The last one they kept telling me that the unlimited mileage on my Platinum plan was only 30 miles then changed that to 20. The first time I waited 4 1/2 hours for a tow on C470 in the Denver area.

HP would not allow him to call his contract provider, so he would pay for what can't use, plus tow bill?
