Maternal DNA does not really allow for recent genetic matches as the mutations occur too infrequently. Any maternal Haplogroup you find yourself to be in will likely age from several thousand years back, unlike paternal mutations which can easily occur every generation.
You should also consider National Geographic's Geno 2 test:-

as well as a maternal test and also one of BritainsDNA's maternal tests:-

most detailed of these test is the $169/$199 FTDNA FGS test but this rarely yields any more interesting information (unless a string of numbers and letters is of interest to you) than the other tests, and never will imo*. The
best value test is the National Geographic one as as well as finding out your mtdna Haplogroup you will also get your autosomal DNA analysed (and if you are a man also your paternal DNA).
* 1) European maternal DNA is very spread out compared to European paternal DNA which is much more geographically specific**
2) paternal DNA contains mutations in every generation or so which allows estimates of migration paths whereas the spread out nature of maternal DNA and distance between mutations (thousands of years) is very random.
** One theory is that most of our maternal European ancestors were in Europe much before most of our paternal ancestors. The theory goes that men of Haplogroup R1b only entered Europe 6-7000 years ago and by one means or the other replaced the older Haplogroup G2 men, and stole their women. Having been in Europe for a longer time, and perhaps being hunter gatherers rather than farmers, means the maternal groups have scattered over wider areas than their "younger" male counterparts whose descendants can be quite easily pinpointed today.
