You need to look at and consider the squaretrade warranty. I purchased an extended warranty for my stepdad. I bought him an iPad 3G for Christmas. I did some research on AppleCare, the Best Buy warranty, and the squaretrade extended warranty.
There were some specific accidental situations I worried about, because I knew they were quite likely to happen with my stepdad. AppleCare and Best Buy excluded these things but SquareTrade included them in coverage. And the price was excellent. I've had a few friends that have made claims with the company and their experiences were very good.
We're all different with different needs, so I don't know of a one size fits all solution, but it's worth checking into.
