Never had a problem with SRTM.

Subject: [AFMUG] NED vs SRTM
If there's a 5 meter discrepancy between USGS National Elevation Data
and the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission, who would you trust? Would you
bet $500 on it?
In this case, with NED I'll have LOS on a backhaul, and with SRTM I'm in
the woods. I'm under the impression that SRTM sometimes gets you
treetops rather than the ground. If I'm wrong I have alternate paths,
but I'd have to pay for a new PCN....so it really is a $500 bet. :)
