Go T1 with PRI signaling. Farming and line coding is for all T1's.  We 
use ESF (extended super frame) B8ZS ( I forget B8ZS stands for but it's 
a newer line coding) . If you have it avaible to you, Signaling type 
should be PRI.  The rest of your numbers 4-7 are in the PRI signaling. 
No sound differences in digital. Caller ID is very important. PRI 
signaling is very easy to set up with Asterisk.
