I'm very happy with gkg.net.  But I would point out that unless you are
going to go through all the hassle of moving all your existing domains,
you are just setting yourself up for trouble from 2 registrars.

I, unfortunately, have domains at godaddy, networksolutions, gkg, and
joker.  None of the registrars is painful enough for me to deal with the
hassle of moving all my domains.

But, if I did, I'd move them all to gkg...
