Mirena vs. Paraguard vs. Nuvaring

I have an appointment soon for insertion of Mirena, a hormonal IUD. Does anyone out there have experience with Mirena and/or Paragard (the copper one)? I know it's a good option, and cheaper than the ring over 2 years, but the whole "perforated uterus" thing and the whole "occasional spotting and really bad cramping for the first three months" thing scares me.
Nuvaring worked without a hitch for me - I would be opting for the IUD for the long-term cost savings and the decreased hassle, as well as the lower hormonal load.
