We might be in similar boats. I was on T-Mo postpaid and was talked into their simple choice plan. It was OK but, at the time, the service blew chunks in Guangzhou. There were other places but that one hurt the most. I tried to go back to my grandfathered plan but no dice.
I ended up with T-Mo prepaid which was ~$29/month taking into account that I bought refill cards at the supermarket with my AMEX BCP. The plan is unlimited calls and texts plus 5gig of LTE data. However, I'm only allowed to tether 100MB vs. no restrictions on the postpaid account.
With the G-Fi plan, I could pay less if I make a concerted attempt to utilize Wi-Fi more but 800MB of data is nothing so I suspect that T-Mo will average out cheaper but without the access to Sprint towers and the international coverage options. It will be a 12 month trial run. It was a no-brainer leaving simple choice for prepaid but not so easy from prepaid to Google.
