If you're smart, you'll do both. A reputable mover will be happy to provide you with names of happy customers. Call the customers and ask very specific questions about both the reliability of the company ("Did they do what they said they would, when they said they would, for the price they gave you?") and the work ethic of the personnel ("Were the workers on time, polite, and respectful of your belongings?")
