State Farm for everything. When I got married my wife had been with the same Allstate agent for around 13 years, and I had been with State Farm for about 15. We gave all of our info to both agencies and have them quote us out for everything (cars, boat, motorcycle, trailer, house + earthquake). There were some plus and minus on both, but overall we ended up saving a LOT of money through State Farm over Allstate. Allstate also really likes to try to get you to use sub-par parts for repair work. They say they personally guarantee those parts, but I don't want the hassle of taking it in for another repair if something does go wrong with the parts. The value of the part is only one part of the equation.
With State Farm I've NEVER had a problem with a claim. I'm now working to get two claims done due to the nasty windstorm a couple of weeks ago. My house is missing a lot of shingles and my car took a beating. A 2 month old windshield now has some 20 major chips / cracks and thousands of smaller chips. The hood looks about the same, and an orange barrel came flying at me and the side of the car took the hit. The wind was blowing so hard that there's even a chip on a side window though I was doing about 40mph at the time (on I80 west of Magna where people usually do 80mph plus).
