Pre-paid two reasons to go pre-paid (1)if you want you Cell Phone for mainly emergences or (2)you have very little self-control or it for someone else that need to learn self control.
When pricing pre-paid remember that taxes are included and taxes on contract plans are not with my first cell Phone I was shocked to find almost $11 a month in taxes Federal State County & City every one imaginable.
The difference between Pre-paid plans varies greatly.
If you want a cell phone for emergences pre-paid isn't quite as expensive as it first looks TracFone is the way to go your minimum monthly bill can be less than $9 . but you can't talk much.

So first try to determine your usage how much of it will be during the day night or weekend if you get a plan with unlimited weekends can you save on long distant fees.

Where will you be using your cell phone if you travel much will you have coverage with your carrier everywhere you need it.
