I tried the latter--Home Advisor (formerly ServiceMagic). Filled out my project details, but they ignored my explicit decision to NOT be immediately submitted/sold as a lead to contractors and instead chose to see their list to read reviews. Unfortunately, they ignored that, and I got pestered by a contractor who was very push on the sales side without answering questions, etc. Very unpleasant experience. It highlighted for me an issue which is that I'm not sure I can trust a provider like that if they are selling the leads. They might have an interest in selling me to whomever pays more, or to new contractors to get them hooked, when I just want to go with those that have the most happy customers at a fair price. Still haven't found a solution to this that I'm happy with.
