If it is indeed just a case of the cost then you should buy the kit from Tesco, if the network matters then get it from Orange. They have the largest percentage of 3G coverage in the UK.
o2 on the other hand use outdated masts and base stations for 3g and even managed to lose the Three network when their entire network collapsed under the strain of managing both their own customers and Three's customers.
Ofcom are still waiting (2 years on) for a reason for the network outage and were told they were no longer allowed to host the Three network as their 3g network was not up to the job and Ofcom forced Three to join the Orange network.
The iPhone relies heavily on the 3g network so take my advice and bite the bullet and absorb the pennies that you would save with Tescos!
