The absolute best security system you can get would be hard-wired (no remote control, battery-operated units that need their battery changed every year), alarming every door, window and in-wall air-conditioner units you may have. Every window must be protected by detecting opening, as well as if the glass is smashed or cracked (via a "bug" on every piece of glass). This method, although very secure, can run into the thousands of dollars for a standard, 20 window, 3 door home.
Since you’re renting your home, there’s no need to keep your system when you leave, so ADT, or Brinks should suffice, but keep in mind, they’ll charge you an arm and a leg for each "additional" opening you alarm (included in their lowball price is perhaps 2 doors, 1 window and a remote motion detector).
A good price for central station monitoring should be in the $20/mo range. $25/mo is approaching outrageous.
However, assuming you’re not a frail, old woman living by yourself, your best bet is to go to Radio Shack and buy a 4-piece remote control motion detector set with built-in alarm system for less than $100, mount them in vulnerable locations (one by each door area and one coming up the stairs to the second floor, assuming your bedroom is on the second floor). Your biggest concern is protecting your life, not so much your valuables, so this advance warning, in the middle of the night, will give you ample time to reach for your shotgun and blow his head off. Remember, if an intruder is in your home, uninvited, and you fear for your life, you may use any means necessary to protect yourself, including deadly force.
A pit-bull works well too.
Good luck.
