Rocco Scafidi started cooperating between 1963 and 1964 in Philly.
The first archive is from 1964, but I believe his involvement started in 1963

Frank Bompensiero of the Dragna crime family who was based in San Diego.

If the irish mob counts towards this discussion then how about Buddy Mclean the founder of the Winter Hill Gang in Boston?

In Sicily I can think of Francesco Siino and Dr. Melchiorre Allegra, but there were others.
the first in Sicily was Salvatore D'Amico (killed in 1878)

For Philly I’d say Caramandi and Leonetti were pretty credible. Neither of them appeared to make outlandish allegations like a lot of the other rats. I know they both got book deal, but even the books seemed realistic in my mind. They lived through some of the craziest times in Philly and were involved in a lot of activity. Both come off as genuine to me.
