There are pros and cons to each one of the Big 3 depending on your current credits, goals, and needs, which will guide you to the one that is best for you. For instance, I would like to use GRE Subject exams for credit. Excelsior offers up to 30 credits for each of these exams including up to 18 upper level credits (with an 80th percentile score). Charter Oak offers 18-24 credits with a 40th percentile score. Thomas Edison offers no credit for these exams, but awards lots of free credits through FEMA.
Also, Jennifer and Alissa did a lot of work putting together some cost comparisons for the Big 3 that you can look at here:

I know that Excelsior has a new scholarship fund for military spouses. They may reduce their fees, too, but I am not sure about that.
What majors are you interested in pursuing?
