I've used TravelGuard and CSA in recent years. World Nomads is actually underwritten by TravelGuard I believe.
Typically the cost of all these policies is a function of the length of time you're traveling, your age, and whether you're being covered for trip cancellation or interruption or not (since premiums rise with the dollar cost of what trip costs you want covered).
For me personal, I'm most interested in emergency medical evacuation insurance -- if anything serious happens in a developing country, I definitely want to get to a modern hospital.
Because my mother is elderly and has health issues, having trip interruption insurance is important for me, too, since you never know when I have to cancel a trip either before departure or while en route in order to come back for her, potentially losing thousands in airfare or anything else I've pre-paid.
