What do I look for in a titile company in Kissimmee, FL?

On the offer paperwork there is a section titled: TITLE EVIDENCE AND INSURANCE

It lists options for seller or buyer to designate closing agent. My RE agent selected buyer designates and says her company is affiliated with a title company and if we use that company then I will get a Butler rebate which she says zeros out the title charges on the final paperwork but failed to mention that I will still have to pay a transaction fee of $270 at closing. So, what are reasonable fees and how can I figure out if this is a good deal? Also, what makes a title company a good company to go with? Finally, on my last property (almost a decade ago now) I thought I had title insurance on the property but found out only a few years ago that the only insurance was to cover the mortgage holder. How do I make sure I have title insurance on the new property to cover my back side? Thanks so much in advance for any advise.
