I don't know the answer, but the "best" module could be a tough decision depending on your use case.
As an example take a look at a map of bc or van. isle and the various coloured zones of service-providing access .Yes most of the pop. on the island or the mainland live along the coast and we have A TON of wilderness...but believe me...you'll laugh when you see it
I swear

....using the latest-greatest service if I move right or left 2 feet I swear I'm out of the service area....that coupled with service-providing giants restricting (kind word for choking XD) and herding the end user...I personally don't care at all if the device is "global/flexible" scrawled in yellow crayon on 2 tin cans with frayed string as the conduit (thankfully the neo900 will look...and I'm sure will perform better than the 2 cans)...AS LONG AS I CAN CALL AND RECEIVE, HEAR AND BE UNDERSTOOD CLEARLY that is all that matters....it beats the hell out of having a super-fly faster-than-light service I can only use while standing on my head... halfway up a spruce tree ....on a cliff ....by the ocean....on a clear day....with an unobstructed line of sight
