Modo. Though I didn't choose them based on price. I chose them based on actually having more than one car in Burnaby :) I can't speak for the others.

I'll usually block out way more time than I need as contingency. You get half price on any unused time if you return it early, and it's free if someone subsequently takes the car during your time. Also you can park in any permit only zones, which might be a modo thing or not. Either way I'm very happy with it despite seemingly everyone else being filthy and never filling when the tank gets low.
