Its hard to come to any conclusion without seeing how they actually conducted the tests. I assume they were using 3g cards on laptops. Were they testing random spots in those specified cities, and testing the same spot for each carrier? Did they test inside a building or out doors?
Out of the two, I would trust the consumer reports tests over PCworld. I think the only way to make it more biased would be throwing Engadget test results in there too. PCworld even states at the bottom that reliability based off of a 1 minute test. Plus Consumer Reports' results resemble the real world data that most of are used to seeing.

They're both interesting in an academic sense, but I wouldn't trust either one as a personal guide. Reception and speed are far too variable based on an individual's specific location. Personal experience is all that matters.
