I've used myself, friends/family, a lawyer, my CPA firm, and one of the cheaper national services out there. The best was my CPA firm, because they handle mail like clockwork and contacted me through email when I got something, even attaching a scanned copy. When it was a yearly report they'd even fill it out for me ($) and send it (after asking, of course). I think some mom-and-pop mailbox stores might also do this (the ones that make it look like you have a real address and not a PO box, which I found helpful), so if you're looking to use them for a mailing address it might make sense to ask them about that as well. With government paperwork, I've learned that "no news is good news". Unfortunately, that's entirely predicated upon the reliability of receipt of any news headed your way. The cheap service I used (LegalZoom) appears to have not forwarded me a couple forms. Granted, I should have been watching for the forms, and filled them out myself when I noticed I'd not been forwarded anything, but the whole episode still got my status set to "REVOKED" with that Secretary of State ($$$$). I've also noticed that the business branch of my various Secretary of States (CA, CO, IL, IA, NJ, MN) have always been sufficiently helpful over the phone. They've given me plenty of advice and helped steer me through their respective jungles of paperwork. Yours might also have an opinion about any RA service you're considering.
