Prepaid SIM - Canada

I'm heading to Canada for 2 weeks in June and want to grab a sim / hotspot to use whilst i'm there.

I'm not too fussed about talk / text (as I can use iMessage, Whatsapp and Google Voice), more interested in getting decent coverage and data. I have an iPad with 3G, so I could use it as a hotspot. Not too concerned about the cost (within reason of course).

I've seen this thread on iPhonetrip, however based on the responses it doesn't seem to be the ideal route:

It looks like I can choose between Rogers, Telus and Bell:
Anyone know if I can get the SIM setup and shipped to the US before I leave? If you have any comments about the quality of the networks too, that would be great. I think Rogers is the best in terms of coverage / speed (please correct me if i'm wrong)

Any other tips / recommendations?
