Default iPhone / Smartphone with or without contract?

Thinking about getting an iPhone and wondering if there is any advantage to buying a used one and going monthly, or just getting it essentially subsidized on a 3 yr contract. The only place that seems to offer any good incentive for bringing your own phone is Mobilicity, but it is pretty limited to major cities. For the rest of the providers it is as if whether you own the phone or not you'll pay a similar price month to month. So, I guess to the people who bought phones outright, was there any savings after shelling out a lot of money to begin with? I mean, unless you exclusively use wifi and have a voice only plan, it seems like you'll be spending $50+ per month regardless of whether you bought the phone or are getting it subsidized.

Thanks.
