If you want to match other people of Jewish Ancestry go with Family Tree DNA. They have THE Jewish DNA Database.
They do the testing for the National Geographic Genographic Project. They have a reputation for ethics. They both store your sample for 25 years and treat it like it is Your sample.
They also have advanced testing options and keep up with new research. For example female lineage testing in major scholarly papers now uses the full amount of the mitochondrial DNA. Family Tree DNA offers a test for that. You can order it to start of upgrade at a latter date.
It might look like a bit more upfront but they do not nickel and dime you down the road. Should you go for single nucleotide polymorphism, SNP, tests for deep ancestry they will not charge you for a backbone test and then another more advanced test. They predict and let you get right to the advanced testing.
