GSM @ 1900MHz should give you 2G on all carriers, except that Verizon and Sprint use CDMA (device-keyed) rather than SIM-based GSM.
UMTS @ 2100MHz only matches T-Mobile's AWS network.

So, my best bet is to get a US SIM that's not Verizon or Sprint? Any suggestions for alternatives?

Get a T-Mobile SIM so you can access data and use google maps etc.
