I probably can only afford 1 content provider. Is Netflix still the best?
 
I have Hulu plus because I'm more into catching up on current tv than watching old movies. But it sucks because some content available on computers is not "authorized" to play on the iPad.
 
Netflix and Hulu have free trials available. Probably anything else you are considering should, or at the very least you'll be able to browse their selection before paying anything.

Sign up for free months/weeks for anything you're interested in and decide which is best for you. Just remember to cancel before it auto-renews and it charges you if you decide you don't want it.

That is why I dropped my hulu account. Everything I wanted to watch could only be watched on the computer. There is a reason I bought an iPad and being tied to my computer to watch something wasn't one of those reasons. I wrote that in my survey when I cancelled my subscription. I told them if they get rid of that issue I would come back, but until I can watch everything on my iPad.
