Recommendations for car rental from Athens Airport

Hello, in the Fall I will travel to Greece, flying into Athens and
heading to the Pelopponese by car, for maybe 10 days.
There are several car rental places at the airport: Avis, Budget,
Hertz, National/Alamo and Sixt.
Can anyone recommend one more than the rest? I wouldn't be buying the
high-dollar collision damage waiver.
Thanks,
Wouldn't you be better off travelling to the Peloponnese by public transport
and renting a car from there? That's what I did a few years ago. You would
save yourself the trouble and expense of driving through Athens which is a
place to be avoided these days as far as possible.
I took a ferry from Piraeus to Porto Heli - a small place on the east coast
of the Peloponnese near Spetses - and hired a car there for a week. It was a
very relaxed experience compared to the hassle of Athens.
