I bank with First Republic, because they offer outstanding service and have good products, particularly if you're traveling overseas a lot; and with a local credit union, because they are a credit union and not a goddamned bank. I got a much better rate on an auto loan from the credit union than any local bank was offering.

+1 for First Republic (SF). They are truly superb and I can't recommend them highly enough.
You get access to a personal banker that you can contact directly via phone, email or in person, and who can do all sorts of helpful things for you.
Mine has been extremely awesome on several occasions, handling things like wire transfers, direct debits, account openings/closings due to stolen personal information, etc.
