I think Lynskey offer similar but best to ask someone who has one, like @dancing james or @danstuff .
I don't actually have a Lynskey. I should have one, as I ordered and paid for a frameset which they had in stock in their sale well over 2 months ago, but they managed to send the frameset to the billing address rather than the shipping address and as a result managed to send it to the wrong country. Since making this rather elementary mistake, they appear to have done the square root of fuck all to sort out the problem, other than sending me the occasional message (only ever in response to an email from me) saying 'we're sorry, we're sorting it out'.
I agree that customer service can be a very useful thing with titanium frames given that they do occasionally have cracking issues, but based on my experience of Lynskey to date, I wouldn't touch them with a barge pole. I've asked them to cancel my order and refund my money, but they've gone back to ignoring me and holding onto my cash, which appears to be their default setting.
I do have an Enigma ti frame, which is my favourite bike in the whole wide world. I've done over 10k km on it now, and it's been faultless.

Given the requirements, I’d focus your search on companies that honour their warranty’s. A friend has had his Van Nicholas replaced twice, in a ten year period, so they’d be top of my list. I think Lynskey offer similar but best to ask someone who has one, like @dancing james or @danstuff .
I’m not sure on Planet-X but know a lot of Pickenflick owners and they’ve all had no issues.
It’s not a given that you’ll have problems, I’m currently on Ti frames 5 and 6 and I’ve never had any frame issues.
