Best GMAT Preparation Course and Why?

I'm currently less than a year out of undergrad and wanted to look into taking the GMAT while I still have some of the course work from school in the back of my head. My question is, what course do you think best prepares you for the GMAT? I've been looking at a few different options such as Kaplan and The Economist, both quite expensive, as well as courses like Magoosh, which is much cheaper. Price isn't a factor in my decision. I would rather pay up and get it right the first time around.

Also, if you have any study tips or tricks please let me know. Thanks all.
