There is no "absolutely" answer to this, or to any other question pertaining to this or any other kind of insurance. Insurance rates, from which premiums derive are functions of the risk factors presented by the insured's business operation. Certainly, insurers vary on the rate (and therefore, the premium) that is charged, but "cheap" does not equate with "best" and you should not make your decision based solely on the premium. You also need to consider the level of claims service in the event of a loss. Despite what may be a lower premium, if the claims process in the event of a loss is difficult to navigate, it may not be worth the few dollars in premium that are being saved.
