Travelling to the USA - What Phone to bring?

I am travelling to the USA this October (2010) (from the UK) and currently have an iPhone. I'm going to want a decent data plan while travelling, and I realise that AT&T is the only option over there for the iPhone.

So, what phone (platform) is best for me to take over, and what network provides transient travellers with the best pay as you go smartphone deal?

Would it be best to buy a used android device (which one), or is it worth the hastle of getting a non AT&T iPhone working with their Go Phone PAYG plans?

AFAIK, only AT&T are able to supply US customers with iPhones, but if you have an unlocked iPhone from elsewhere, it should work on any plan on any GSM network. You just need a sim card.
