I've only shipped via FedEx and it was fine. From what I've read, both UPS and Fedex are not only kinder to the bikes but the insurance is better.
I had an LBS do the packing both ways because I'd never done it, took it over to the shipping place and made sure the insurance would cover full replacement value.

I just sold my touring bike on ebay and my LBS packed it in a box they had rec'd another bike in for $40. The bike made it to the east coast safe and sound. Of course, the shipping was another cost but it was packaged pretty well for the trip!
