Hi Alex, I haven't done any research, so I can only speak from personal experience. I am with Vodafone and have used tethering with my iPhone for several months. It was really simple to set up, just go into the iPhone settings and enable tethering and then just pair the iPhone with the computer you want to use it with. Then just connect the computer to the iPhone, via bluetooth, whenever you want to go online. The only problem is the battery gets drained pretty fast with bluetooth working all the time, so it's a good idea to carry around a charger!
My Vodafone contract includes 1Gb of data every month, and for just surfing and email that's been no problem. The contract also includes 100 free SMS's. It's $69 per month, which seemed pretty reasonable. Vodafone doesn't have the greatest coverage, so I'd check their coverage for the areas you might need to work. But their coverage maps are not very accurate either - according to their maps, my home should receive great reception but I barely get one bar and no 3g, but that's not a problem as my work gets great coverage, and thats where I use it mostly.
