Default Shipping an expensive item: What is the most secure method for seller?

I was wondering what the most secure method for shipping an expensive item would be. Which service (USPS or UPS or other) would be best and what insurance confirmation should I use? Just curious to see what some of the experienced sellers here recommend.

Thanks.

Default bat

I sold a mantle signed bat on eBay for $2750.00 a few years ago and I used UPS Ground. w/ insurance it was about $45 - 50 w/ signature confirmation tracking etc. I felt comfortable . I hope this helps

Registered is the way to go, but as a caveat it does take quite a bit longer for the item to arrive. So if you ship this way I would inform the buyer of the added time.
