Who offers best Production Insurance for filmmakers?

Hi everyone! Which insurance companies have you worked with to obtain production insurance for your film(s)? Did they provide good service, did you have a very good experience with them? Which insurance company do you feel is among the best for offering production insurance..especially if the film has some stunts and athletic scenes (no explosions or anything like that). Example of these activities: horseback riding, a chase on foot, a choreographed fight (grappling, a little MMA) and also dance performances, hiking near mountains and a volcano, I will be purchasing insurance before and for Phase 2 of my film's production period (main production period with full cast and crew), which begins at the end of January and through February 2014. Currently, I am in Phase 1 of the production of my new film, which is very "bare bones". Phase 1 is where I am doing most of the work solo - filming two scenes with my character (I am one of the lead roles) who will technically be alone in the scene, but in the film it will appear that a mysterious dark figure will in the room with her) and also doing the bulk of the music production/film score, and a few other forest landscape scenes. I am looking for a strong reputable company who I can stay with for the long run, not just for one film. I have had experience as a customer of Traveler's insurance for normal auto liability insurance, but I found that the company also offers film production insurance. I am leaning towards them, but I also want to know a few others that have a good history in offering this kind of insurance as well. Oh and, I will be making another post on Stage 32 regarding suggestions for an attorney to hire shortly either in the Pre-Production or "Ask Stage 32" section. Thank you!
