Need Carrier Advice

Hi

I am traveling to Italy for 14 days for my honeymoon at the end of this month and will be bringing my Samsung Captivate.
I would like to get a prepaid SIM that has data, and i see that most of the carriers offer some sort of pre-paid data plan.

Is one carrier better than the others? I have heard TIM has really good coverage all over. I will be in Rome, Amalfi Coast, Isle of Capri, Florence, Pisa, Siena, & Venice....and everywhere in between cause i have rented a car and we will be driving.

I dont plan on making many calls, if any, but I do use the internet alot, and would like to use google maps, so i can find where im going

. Will probably also do some wifi tethering to my ipad/nook.

What do you think is best for my situation?

Surely TIM has the best coverage. Vodafone is rather good but more expensive. Wind is a little less good, but cheaper. Don't rely on 3, it has coverage in towns, but many "holes" in between.

TIM w/ the Internet Senza Limiti should do me good!
