The best data speeds are going to come from ST by using a gsm phone that is compatible with AT&T or T-Mobile's HSPA+ network. T-Mobile will have the best speeds possible, but AT&T will have the best coverage between the two. The best part of the GSM aspect is that if you don't like any of the phones they offer, and don't mind spending a little bit extra, you can buy any unlocked GSM phone and it will work as as long as the frequencies line up. The Nexus 4 is probably the best because it is penta-band, but is pretty hard to come by (Demand is very high). If you can get your hands on a GSM Galaxy Nexus, that will work as well. I say those two because they're probably the two cheapest unlocked phones, but are very good as well.
