Choosing the Best Lender

What lender did you go with for stafford loans in med school? Is there an advantage to say Sallie Mae, which allows you to defer payments until after residency? Or do other lenders do this as well? I've gone to about 5 loan officers and most of them knew less about student loans than I did, so any help would be great. Thanks!

Moving to Financial Aid Forum as that forum specifically deals with this subject matter.

Three years of deferral and three years of forbearance are a benefit given by the government, it is the same no matter which lender you use.
