To me there isn't much difference, as far as service goes that's many
times handled by smaller companies who may have installed the panel in
the first place or independent contractors who deal with just about
everything on a day to day basis. Monitoring is usually better with
the big boys, I've seen a lot of crap by local companies who contract
the monitoring to small stations.

And simply because ADT, Brinks and whoever provide good monitoring.

Name a company other than ADT who covers the outside of a customer's
house with an electronic field of 1's and 0's? HUH? Emergency 24
doesn't do that!
