I didn't find it reliable the one time I needed it.
Then again FRUBER was basically for lkwd...

Lots of time I bet required communication with driver. Doesn't always go so smoothly
Agree, I think it's better to go with the prepaid taxi service thing. Use the special phone if you want, with a shinu.

BTW I believe it is better to have a koton, (not your own child) make the phone call for you. ולא הודו לי חבירי

If time is of essence, there's no reason to call Hatzolah over driving yourself. Hatzolah is also a Yid. Beside for a time when you suspect that the baby may come before the hospital and you'll need help handy.
Don't know about other cities but  Lakewood hatzolah has a goy driver for shabbos. So hatzolah would be less chillul shabbos, as it only requires a phone call which is only electricity, as opposed to driving yourself where there is a issue of a deoraisa of haavarah

Depends on the situation. Having a yid do a malacha is certainly worse than having a goy do it.

Rambam:

כשעושים דברים אלו, אין עושין אותן לא על ידי גויים, ולא על ידי קטנים, ולא על ידי עבדים, ולא על ידי נשים--כדי שלא תהא שבת קלה בעיניהם; אלא על ידי גדולי ישראל וחכמיהם. ואין מורין לנשים לעשות דברים אלו. ואסור להתמהמה בחילול שבת, לחולה שיש בו סכנה, שנאמר "אשר יעשה אותם האדם וחי בהם" (ויקרא יח,ה), ולא שימות בהם. הא למדת, שאין משפטי התורה נקמה בעולם, אלא רחמים וחסד ושלום בעולם. ואלו המינים שאומרים שזה חילול ואסור, עליהן הכתוב אומר "וגם אני נתתי להם, חוקים לא טובים; ומשפטים לא יחיו, בהם" (יחזקאל כ, כה).
״וזה כלל גדול: שישנא אדם כל דבר שקר. וכל מה שיוסיף שנאה לדרכי השקר – יוסיף אהבה לתורה.״ - אורחות צדיקים

I'll just add one point a bit off topic. If you think that in today's day and age people don't die for Shabbos, think again. Don't ever hesitate to call on the smallest Sofek.

Additionally, keep in mind that if you need a good Shabbos goy to go to the hospital in various non-emergent emergencies you can always call 911.

the goy driver rarely does transports on the way into the hospital. They're there for the way back

Without mentioning the 2-3 first responders who drive to your home.

Another mistake is those who knock on the Hatzola guys door so that he can just check things out.
- he immediately radios it in and usually hops in the car either way..

don't get me started.
I had a guy huffing and puffing 3 blocks to my house. Knocks on the door and says he needs Hatzolah his few month old is having difficulty breathing. I look at him crazily and tell him the Hatzolah member is away for shabbos and offer him the phone to call Hatzolah.
He starts fidgeting um um he didn't want to call cuz of shabbos and his wife didn't want the scene... I tell him either he calls or I call, reluctantly he comes inside and calls. Now Hatzolah is all mixed up why caller id is coming up from a members house 3 blocks away. Anyways Hatzolah definitely got there before he got home. Now I'm sure his wife was really flustered, baby not breathing Hatzolah there and no husband!!

In NYC taxi/uber would be much quicker, no joke.

Classic Chossid Shoite story, hopefully some children saw and learned that you're allowed to call Hatzalah on Shabbos when it's an emergency.
