I've used the Company Corporation without any problems in the past.

You don't really need these services at all. If you do use one, it's common knowledge that you need to re-file amended articles and bylaws. What they file for you is just a placeholder, and it's adequate for that purpose.

The only reason to use a third party service is: (a) to spare yourself the hassle of searching the name, and filing the initial paperwork and (b) to appoint them as registered agent on your company's behalf.

All of these services (LegalZoom, etc.) are trying to up-sell their registered agency and compliance services. If you don't want them, say so, and don't pay for them. In my experience, it's never been an issue, but you will receive junk mail from them for life. Let's face it: OP is just marketing his own services here, too.
