This is where I found the Argus site to be quite good. At least when I used it you could include all the insurances in the quoted online price, which still turned out quite reasonable. None of the other booking sites allowed this, so you book the car and are still up for the very inflated insurances once you go to pick it up. Not that this stopped the rental company trying to up sell when I got there.... Note this was four years ago, so things may have changed.
I concur that the third party insurance issue is a minefield in the US and I would be very uncomfortable not having it.
