Moniker is my favorite hands down: http://moniker.com They are also a favorite of domainers for their features and support. In my opinion they have unmatched security, and will fight to keep your privacy when using whois protection (unlike another popular registrar listed here as an alternative to GoDaddy, from my own personal experience).

Plus, their control panel pages to assign custom nameservers doesn't work half the time! (or at least, it didn't in 2010 when I used them).

And, should you instead choose their DNS service, they'll throw in some free 3-4 hour total outages with no explanation from customer service! [1]

My recommendation would be to stay as far away from Moniker as you possibly can.
