AT&T vs. Verizon Wireless (which is better?)

I currently have metro pcs as my cell phone provider..but I've been thinking about venturing out to check out what the other people have to offer. Also, I want to look at better android phones aha!
I've been looking at AT&T and Verizon (also sprint too) I can afford either I just want to know which would be better. I don't talk on the phone much..maybe an hour or two a day (or three) But I love to text. I don't go on the internet unless I'm bored either
so what plan would be better for me (individual too) I'm not sure which plan would work for me..any suggestions?
also what phone should I look at? I like the big screens (I have an ascend and the screens pretty decent)

I live out in "country land" (monroe mi) and they both get pretty decent coverage out here (did research and my boyfriend has verizon too)

any opinions or suggestions?
thanks so much!!
