They're all pretty good as an ex-contractor in the UK. Even getting paid is quite easy if you sub your timesheets quickly.

The killer is simply making sure that if you do the entire 6 month contract in 2 weeks that you still get paid for the rest or have a massive termination fee in the contract.

The agents don't care; they pass all costs on.

Any more specific advice on enforcing payment if you deliver the contract early?

Yes. Specify an early termination charge of at least 50% of the contract total.
