It depends what you're looking for from a registrar IMO.  Do you just
want the domain and you'll run the NS?  Do you want someone to host the
NS for you (ie: phantom primary)?  Do you want someone to do managed
hosting of either the NS or a whole NS/web/email/etc system?

I currently go through http://www.alienwebshop.com/domains/ for anything
personal, mostly because it's run by a friend of mine, but the domains
are a reasonable price ($15) and service is good.  They resell TuCows
registration.

I've also had good experience with DirectNIC at my last job.

From both of those places, we only registered the domains but did all the
hosting ourselves.  I know Alienwebshop offers hosting services, DirectNIC may
as well.
