I've never had a problem with dozens of BST transactions just going with a priority box and tracking.

I'm always on the fence about asking for higher levels of insurance. In a way I feel like that does nothing but flag it as something worth stealing if one is so inclined. On the other hand, with cameras, computers, etc., I suspect it would be awfully hard to a USPS employee to pilfer a package.
I doubt it would be hard at all for the delivery person. They are getting busted with their house/garage filled with undelivered mail on a fairly regular basis. My brother got an several year old piece of mail returned. They busted a delivery person with his garage and house full of undelivered mail. The USPS did their best to return all the mail they could.
