In his most recent newsletter, Peter Calver points out that for an autosomal DNA test, AncestryDNA is the best value, despite being more expensive. Most others agree. The AncestryDNA database is larger, meaning more chances of getting a match. To take advantage of their databases, you can transfer Ancestry’s raw data to other companies at a modest cost.
