Specifically, which major carrier (Geico, State Farm, American Family, etc.) do you feel has the best rates for quality coverage and good customer service. This would be for two autos and new home coverage. I live in the Midwest, so answers from those in this part of the US are preferred. Any supporting info you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Farm Bureau or State Farm.

Whatever you do, stay away from Nationwide!!! We have a customer right now (I work for Farm Bureau) who has been in 3 accidents in the last 2 years, all with Nationwide customers, all were the Nationwide party's fault. They paid the first claim and flat out denied the last two. And contrary to common belief, Geico isn't all it's cracked up to be either.
