The main problem with pre-paid vs post-paid phones is that most of the services don't roam onto other vendors towers on pre-paid where they do on post-paid plans. And if you look at their coverage maps it's difficult to tell where you'll need roaming to have connectivity. No doubt this is part of their marketing plans - better overall services on their post-paid plans and the ability to offer lower costs on their pre-paid plans.
The one exception to this that I've found is T-Mobile; they do roam on their pre-paid plans for the most part and their coverage is pretty good in the West. Not sure, but their roaming on pre-paid may be dependent on which partners they have roaming agreements with though. I know that's the case in Alaska and Western Canada.
I was a bit surprised to find that my pre=paid AT&T phone did roam in Western Canada, although it roamed on Rogers as I recall and T-Mobile roamed on Telus.
