Rikki/Vanessa/Bob the Way to Go?

I've searched but a majority of the threads are from 2012 and some from 2013. Alot of things could change in a year (skills could diminish etc) and I was wondering if the three vaunted indy repairers mentioned above are still the way to go over RSC?

Going with Rikki is attractive because of the turnaround time and the base starting cost of 350. They say his work is on the level or exceeds RSC, which is a very good compliment (depending on what RSC one is referring to).

Are the three still the preferred over RSC for price, quality, service or has RSC reached a point where they are the ones to beat / should have the watch sent to.

Looking to decide by tomorrow so i can ship out tomorrow as well. Wish me luck. First service.

Rik has worked on two for me and I am sending him another one this week. All of the providers listed in the OP are top notch.

All three are excellent and I wouldn't hesitate to use any of them. Not that Bob can't work on anything but I believe he is especially known for his work on vintage pieces.
