I wouldn't sway from the big names for your primary connections either.

This is, of course, dependent on the OP's location and budget. I know when we were getting our NLR connection set up, there was a fair amount of "You want 40G worth of DWDM *where*?" involved, and the resulting topology was... complicated. At least at one time, there were places where our provider was running our link across lambdas of a subsidiary of ours, which are going across physical fiber owned by the provider... turtles all the way down. ;)
