Should i order Direct TV through verizon or deal with them directly?

-i probably will get internet and phone from verizon but i'm not sure about tv. i did see their triple play bundle that includes direct tv but I have read many horror stories about how verizon handles your bill and then direct tv comes looking for the money or stops your service.. Should i get all three through verizon or just get internet and phone with verizon and deal with direct tv directly?
