Do you all recommend Cricket in an area with great AT&T coverage?

My AT&T iPAD prepaid plan has been rock solid and as advertised. I don't abuse it and download TBs of data and it's been treating me well. I pray it stays that way because T-mobile is completely screwing me over.
I have 2 separate T-mobile SIMs - one through AirWireless and another postpaid T-mobile and both have been aggressively throttling. This is a complete 180 from what they used to do for years ago before they acquired Sprint where AT&T was my backup and T-mobile was my primary.
I am starting to look into Cricket to increase my AT&T exposure because of this.
Now I have NEVER used Cricket before but since the AT&T iPAD prepaid plan is long gone, I'm wondering how you all recommend Cricket in an area with great AT&T coverage?
If I wanted to use Cricket for data (I don't mind buying phone plans at all either):
1. What is a good plan to use? I have ATT compatible phones, modems - any and most ways to extract LTE out of towers, so device selection isn't an issue for me
2. Are there some Cricket specific shenanigans I should know about? I think they default to deprioritized traffic and that's fine as the only living beings miles around are the animals in the corral.
