We use CyberSource too. It's pretty good (on a relative basis).
The big gotcha for us is that the reporting API (to get data on existing subscriptions/transactions) leaves a lot to be desired.

I've used cybersource in past, but not for subscription. Do you guys save the credit card info on your servers for subscription, or does cybersource save it for you?

I haven't used it, but they seem to have a Recurring Billing service: http://www.cybersource.com/resources/collateral/Resource_Cen...
I always figured that you want to maintain your own transaction records anyway for internal accounting and metrics. If you do that then you really have 90% of the work already done for a basic recurring billing system.
I have used them very successfully in the past. They have an API in various languages that is really easy to implement. For recurring billing, store the card encrypted and bill whenever.
