We went through a similar conversation. In the end we went with a UU religious education. I think it is important that children are getting moral messages from someone other than their parents, because when they inevitably need to rebel I wanted these concepts to be more established as what people do, rather than just something mom says and does. They are usually super relaxed about kid exuberance, which was important for my experience. The services are often worked around making them kid friendly, often with the kids going off to do an activity in another space for a more traditional sermon part, where kids might get antsy. As the kids get older (and for adults) there is also a strong social justice component that I liked.
