For small items (single cards), USPS first class is my pick. For slightly larger, USPS Priority Mail box. For larger still, FedEx Ground. I have had far fewer issues than I would have expected over the years. I should mention that I don't sell on ebay and rarely even here, but I do trade cards with friends, send them for consignment or grading, etc.

This is my feeling as well. When I see how much the insurance costs and guesstimate the chances of both having the package lost and successfully getting reimbursed for it, I choose to self-insure.
