Their phone service almost certainly isn't Vonage-style parasitic VoIP
but rather packetcable which uses IP signalling over dedicated
bandwidth.

Sprint, formerly United Telephone, has a pretty decent reputation as
an ILEC. I expect either would be fine, but if the power fails, your
Comcast phone service will depend on batteries in the box they install
on your house and in various cable boxes on the pole, while ILEC
service is usually powered from the CO.
