I wouldn't consider anything but enclosed transport. Also consider that most of these "shipping companies" are nothing more than a middleman that puts your request out for bid. You never know who will be hauling your car. Reliable may not be the cheapest bid, but they may be the best choice since the broker is the hauler.
When I had my car hauled from New Jersey to Wisconsin, I used one of the online websites that put your request out to several of these "transport companies" and I selected one that was in the middle of the price range. Apparently, the independent who bid on the job bid it too cheap, realized his mistake and backed out. The shipping company called me to let me know that they weren't able to honor my bid and was looking for another independent to haul my car. After almost 2 weeks of waiting, they finally got a bid for $600 more than the original quote, but guaranteed me a pickup and delivery time, so I accepted the deal. I will say that the driver that picked up the car was excellent to work with and stayed in continual contact with me. He also showed up with the car 2 days earlier than promised. He picked up the car at noon on a Friday and dropped it off at 9 am Sunday morning.
