To answer the tow truck portion of things, new Saabs come with Roadside Assistance --which pays for your tow truck and (if necessary) towing to the nearest Saab dealer. So you might want to confirm with your dealer what the, er, deal is.
Regarding the OnStar issue, normally OnStar would summon Saab Roadside Assistance at your request (unless it's an emergency situation such as an airbag deployment and you're not responding; in that case they call police and ambulances). However, if it's a standard breakdown and you call them, they would be happy to call whatever towing service you want -- including the roadside service included with your insurance policy. In this regard alone, having OnStar essentially would be like having an expensive cellphone.
For whatever it's worth, in a month of owning my 9-5, I've used OnStar twice to give me directions, and once to give me an address. It works very well.
