What matters most for this use case

The provider brand is only one part of the decision. Check the exact mailbox location, recipient allowances, scan economics, forwarding rules and whether the address type is accepted for the purpose you intend.

Address warning: a virtual mailbox or CMRA should not automatically be treated as a residential address, registered-agent address or universally accepted principal business address.
