Gatecrasher

i already have a few domains registered through godaddy.com, and am looking to buy a handful more... and i was trying to do research the last couple hours but google is getting me search results of "best registrars" from 2004... and all the other links are to forums with people spamming with links to reseller accounts...

so what are some of the better registrars out there today, as of feb 2008?

as much as people hate on it, looks like godaddy.com is decent and cheap. i just hate having to pay extra for whois privacy

other hardcore users point to places like enom.com, but that's meant more for professional domain squatter types.

i can also look at the largest registrars... latest ranking from ICANN is:
