Sharklet, it depends what you want out of your JOC. If you do some more research, you will see that some JOCs are done on a full motion simulator, but some are done on a much more simple piece of equipment. Some will be 16 hours in the sim, and some much less (like 5). Some will last a week, and some will last a day or two.
Do you just want a certificate? Go with the cheapest and the easiest to travel to. Do you want to use a generic FNPTII or do you want a full motion 737 sim? There is a reason why prices vary.

JOC conducted in our JAR-STD3A (FNPT II MCC) B737-800W NG simulator:
Thats why FTE's JOC is very exspensive.
- 27 hours of theoretical knowledge instruction
- 44 hours of simulator training

If you just need the certificate then I assume you plan on applying for jobs that require / prefer a JOC?
If so, tread carefully. I know of at least one operator that requires the JOC to have a minimum of 16 hours sim. Watch you don't end up paying for a course that is not recognised or accepted.
Do your homework (as it seems you are).

if memory serves, and it rarely does. there are no official guidelines/requirements laid down on the contents, structure or length of a joc course as there is for a mcc.
i may of course be wrong so i stand to be corrected. so i would imagine doing the course boils down to what you're doing it for. if its to better your skills and get a good idea and flavour of what handling and operating a jet is like then the more expensive option is probably best. if it is simply to fulfil a requirement of an airline's hr department and insurance company then do it as economically as possible.
of course if an airline is stipulating "a joc course consisting of at least xx hours" then at least fulfil that requirement.
