Bogart, can't comment on Verizon vs. ATT, but can comment on the land-line. We have Verizon cell and it works OK. We dumped our land-line and got a Magic Jack. Cost $40 for device and 1st year, and it's $20 year going forward. So we have our Verizon cells and the Magic Jack as a sort of land line thru the computer. It works OK although it's sometimes a little slow to get a dial tone when you pick it up.
For trips from the airport, we use Enterprise and get a one-way form the airport to TV. My son works for them so we get a discount, but even at full price I think it's less than the $85. Of course you have to drive the hour or so. For some strange reason it's more expensive to go from TV to the airport. Not sure why.
Anyway, hope that helps.
