I've heard about problems with GoDaddy, so I tend not to use them. I don't have any personal experience with Moniker. Network Solutions is unnecessarily expensive. I have been using namecheap.com for domains that are not directly associated with a hosting account. Most hosting accounts come with free domain registration when paid for by the year.

I know this to be true as a Search Engine Optimization Specialist because people will come to me with their link building schemes where they buy a bunch of domains, throw up a bunch of one-way links to their site and think it's all hidden from Google because they are hidden by that proxy. I then have the unfortunate duty to inform them that Google purchases and may in fact own the data at the icann level which means they see right through that proxy. Anywho, I wanted to share a little toy we placed on our site for people searching for domain names. It allows them to search in real time what's available without the pesky submit button and pageloads. Check it out if you are searching for a domain name, it's free of course! http://www.eleganceindesign.com/domains.html Cheers and great post.

Since the contact information must be public record, the domain registration companies get around this by "holding" the domain for you and listing their contact information in the domain record instead of yours. But my understanding is that this "holding" is accpmplished by listing themselves as the registrant, which means that the domain is actually registered to them, not you. This may be fine with large, established registrars, but it just makes me a little uneasy. Perhaps I'm overly cautious.
