I've had T-Mobile for maybe 10 years now and have no complaints. Their hook up with Orange means in theory better coverage in more areas, but its usually the case that if one doesn't work another will. My phone won't work at all at my Dads house by the toaster, but his Vodaphone will.
Other than Three supposedly being pants in general, there probably isn't much between Orange, T-Mobile, Vodaphone and O2 averaged over the whole of mainland UK. I don't know about data rather than just calls and texts.
Orange has deals on the cinema though
I don't see why you can't order online? Or just walk into any shop on arrival?
