Stacey,

I would stick with a written contract - if you ever need it in court it is
easier to read, and you have a signature on it to prove that is the person
you talked to.  I understand from my attorney that the recorded phone
conversations are not legal binding contracts - and that people who use them
do so to intimidate the person on the other end.  She says that they cannot
be used in a court of law.

Hope this helps.

Sincerely,

Margie Padgitt
