Palladium IRA Custodians - Any El Pasoans with experience?

I've been kicking around the idea of adding some physical palladium to my IRA. Been in physical gold for a bit now, maybe 150k worth, mostly in a split vault solution, but the recent run on palladium has me seriously considering dedicating a portion of new contributions to it. My current custodian is fine for gold, but I'm wondering if anyone here has specific experience with custodians who are particularly good with palladium IRAs. Finding a good one seems like it could be a bit more niche than just gold or silver.
My biggest concern is obviously making sure I'm working with a reputable company given the value of these assets. I'm looking at maybe putting 20-30k into palladium over the next year if the price looks right. Been a long-time precious metals guy, especially living here in El Paso. You see the global economy playing out on our doorstep every single day, and it just reinforces how important tangible assets are for wealth preservation. I've seen some pretty wild swings on both sides of the border, and gold (and potentially palladium) feels like a solid anchor.
So, for those of you who have a palladium IRA, which custodian are you using? What has your experience been regarding fees, storage options, and overall customer service? Are there any hidden costs I should be aware of? I've been doing my due diligence using the Learning Center, which has been great for understanding the basics, but specific custodian recommendations from real users would be incredibly helpful. Any El Paso folks out there with experience? Always good to hear local perspectives on this stuff.
Are there particular red flags I should be watching out for when evaluating custodians for palladium? I've heard some horror stories about hidden fees or difficulties with liquidation down the line, and frankly, I don't need that kind of headache. My current gold setup is pretty smooth, and I'd like to maintain that level of ease if possible. Thanks in advance for any insights!
