Is it better to have a fee schedule or coinsurance with 30% for dental insurance?t?

I'm looking at getting dental insurance. Is is it better to have one with a fee schedule for many things (I don't think they pay any of this, at least all it says is fee schedule) or to have it be coinsurance and it ranging b/t 10-50% depending on the service. They both have the same deductible % max coverage and the one with the fee schedule is a few dollars more per month.

If we're not considering cost then the insurance is better. BUT, it depends on the cost. You'll find the Ameritas Dental Insurance on my site as well as a search engine that'll look up 30 different discount plans (fee schedule). With dental plans going for a discount plan isn't so bad because insurance only covers $1,000-$1,500 anyway. In other words a root canal isn't going to cost you your home like a heart attack would.
