Think there might be a bit of a language clash going on here - we dont use those terms (well not when i was a broker anyway)
By captive agents i presume you mean what we would term as tied agents, ie they are only referring business to 1 company & non captive we class as independent brokers/agents that search the market for the best quote through a variety of Companies.
Bottomline as far as im concerned is price versus cover. Also be selective on how much excess you take, its not always a good idea to carry a massive excess, premium reduction for carrying
