Southern Electric or Atlantic?

I'm looking to switch supplier at the moment, going for dual fuel I think, and after a bit of research it comes down to these two. I realise they are both sub "brands" of Scottish & Southern Energy but wondered - which of the two gets the bigger thumbs up (or the smaller thumbs down) out there?
Cheers,
Jess

    They are pretty much the exact same, the same customer services, the same basic prices. The only differences are the name that appears at the top of the bill and the main one is how the direct debit discount works.

    On Southern Electric if you pay by direct debit you get 5% of every unit you use.

    With Atlantic if you pay by direct debit you don't get a discount but every 13th month an average of your last 12 direct debits is credited back to your bank account.
  • Thanks for that Rian - that's been really helpful.
