A question on insurance directories

Hello, fellow law-libbers. The sun is finally shining here in dreary Erie and I have another question for the list. I have been asked to look into several publications in which our firm advertises. Trying to get the most bang for our marketing buck, you know. :-) Unfortunately it is difficult to determine from the websites that I have been finding if the directories in question are actually useful. After all, *all* of them state that thousands, nay, millions of insurance professionals use them every single day and would simply curl up and die without them. And surely these websites would not be...exaggerating a bit, would they?

Therefore I thought that I would gather any feedback from the gathered professionals here. Have you heard of any of the following directories and do you have anything (good or bad) to say about them?

Casualty Adjusters Guide of Western Pennsylvania (Casualty Adjuster's Guide)
Insurance Law List of Recommended Attorneys Directory (Insurance Management Institute)
The Insurance Bar (Bar List Publishing Co.)
Best's Directory of Recommended Insurance Attorneys and Adjusters (A.M. Best Co.)

(Yes, I'm fairly sure about the Best directory, but it never hurts to ask.)

Thanks in advance for any help that you can offer.
