CDMA is so last decade. If you travel the world GSM is the only way.

Yeah, but if you (just) travel the US, it sounds like CDMA is pretty sweet!

Yet, maybe someone can correct me if I'm wrong, CDMA is a key reason Verizon's service is much more reliable than AT&T's.

AFAIK, this isn't because of the underlying GSM vs CDMA technology. Verizon just has more towers around and better backend infrastructure to handle high loads.
