Do your due diligence with AT&T. We traveled out west with another couple last summer. They had a 6GB AT&T plan and we had Verizon.
Their data service was shut down after minimal usage. They called AT&T to see what was going on and they were told to read the fine print in their contract. Apparently when you are in an area where AT&T does not have their own towers, but provides service by using agreements with local companies, they limit your data usage to some really small amount and shut your service down if you go over it. I don't remember the number, but I believe it was less than 1 mg!
I immediately called Verizon to see if they also did that and they told me that they were familiar with the AT&T policy, but Verizon did not do the same.
That was over a year ago, so things could have changed . . . but you might want to check it out before you make your decision.
