I'd be more comfortable with an outfit like Boeing, Lockheed-Martin, or ULA
than with a startup, anyway. They've been around the block with EELVs, have
capsules in advanced development (Boeing's CST, Lockheed-Martin's Orion or
Orion derivative), and get the job done for NASA and DOD launching science
and national security payloads. But they still have to show that the job can
be done.

I think Dragon is in a more advanced state of development than CST or
Orion... at least they already have a prototype in orbit.
