Your quality issues are valid but I've experienced issues with all three.

Though PSA is making good and in the process of reimbursing me, just two weeks ago I sent in a 1960 Topps Whitey Ford that was mislabeled by PSA as a Venezuelan issue. I bought it based on the PSA Venezuelan label but in fact it turned out to be a plain old US Topps issue.

For modern thicker cards, SGC has not been the way to go but for pre-war vintage, I believe they are the best overall. Also easily the best at vintage Latin American issues (Topps Venezuelans not included here).

As for the rattling, they must have changed their sizing a bit. My complaint about them has been that I have a number of cards that were squeezed too tightly into the black frame and under magnification, I can see that it resulted in actually damaging the card. Rattling is one of my main complaints about PSA.

I had my first experience with MGS and will not use them again. I sent them my cards on Christmas Eve and did not hear anything for 2 months. When I contacted him, he said he never received my cards, even though the USPS tracking said he did. I was convinced my cards were lost forever until this morning, when I got an automated email from him saying my graded cards are on their way. Phew! I was relieved, but not happy that it took him over 2 months, plus he lied saying he never received them. Let's see what they look like when they arrive in a couple of days...
