I've been a steady customer since my 1st iPhone. Only choices up this way are either AT&T or Verizon.
I seem to hear more complaints with Verizon than AT&T. At least, in my neck of the woods.
Check the MVNOs. They use the same networks and will give you much better pricing.

" Are they the best"
Definitely MAYBE. Too many variables to give a pat answer. As already mentioned, a LOT has to do with EXACTLY where you happen to be.
Spend an hour or so online and see reviews from ACTUAL users. Even if you ARE happy with AT&T, you could (should?) go to an AT&T company store and let them know you're checking your options. If they don't volunteer to "help" you, ask OUTRIGHT "what can AT&T do for me to keep me as a customer". You might get comped a deluxe phone(s) (or at least a hefty discount). If they do that, be aware that they're likely to try and lock you in for 24 ~ 36 months or face heavy penalties if you leave early.
Checking with T-Mobile and Verizon would be a prudent move too. I would check AT&T competitors before I walked into an AT&T company store. That way, you'll know in advance what other carriers are willing to do to get you to switch.

I use a plan from redpocket which uses the at&t network. We paid $240/yr/per line for 8GB/month. So $20/month for service. Its been a while since I priced out AT&T plans

Depends entirely on where you live, work, and travel to.

Hey! Thanks! I'm always in for a better deal! (tu)

AT&T is currently airing ads on TV stating EVERYONE gets a "FREE" iPhone13. I expect AT&T will "lock you in" to them for 24 ~ 40 months and, if you leave early, you'll pay a hefty "termination fee". Since you've indicated the you're a long time AT&T customer and, have generally been satisfied with AT&T, this might be the best deal you can get.
