Depends on where you are, as to what sort of coverage you can get. Telstra covers most areas, Optus and the others have less as they don't have access to all of Telstra's towers. And depending on what provider that you are with, when it comes to peak times, the lower down the pecking order of priority you go.
So the cheaper the deal, probably means the less access and lower priority you get in peak times. Does that make sense?
You can check a providers coverage by googling it.
And to answer your question, I went with Telstra, as I was on the go and needed to make sure of coverage.
I just went into a Optus shop and asked about their coverage and prices, then in to Telstra's.
