I need single trip holiday insurance - who should I avoid?

Heading off to greece for a week in a few days.Had a bit of a scout online for travel insurance, and had a few quotes, ranging from £18.54 up to £29.00 for two of us. Havent checked everyone, and I don't necessarily have to go for the cheapest, but do want to be covered with someone who will pay up without too much hassle should we have to make a claim. Any horror stories concerning who to avoid?

Cheers all.

    Sorry no horror stories, but I have just booked through pigsback and got 200 points with Ace insurance who seemed to be cheaper than most of the others for the same level of cover.

    I got mine from the post office last year, I know its £15 but it was easier to do it with them for me, takes a couple of mins at post office
