So if you could rank them in terms of online gui or software platform, trade execution speed/reliability, customer service, fees, etc...

think or swim
tdameritrade
tradeking
scottrade
etrade
schwab
terra nova

Currently use schwab but want to try something else. I'll probably go with one of the top two I listed, but i'm curious which ones you enjoy using.

ameritrade.com
optionsxpress.com

Ameritrade has really upgraded a lot of their trading tools.

Currently using Ameritrade, used etrade for a while bout 5 years ago then switched. 9.99 all trades, any size. For accounts over 100k you get no extra charge Level II quotes, streaming real time to quotetracker, portfolio balancer, strategy tools and some other stuff I have not had time to work thru. Of the 3 I've tried I like Ameritrade the best. For what it's worth my dad and brother use Scotttrade and like it okay, they are a little less per trade. Ameritrade customer service has been top notch every time I've needed them. Never had a problem with a trade but I did get some email spam which I thought had a connection to a trade I made. It turned out to be nothing but they still gave me a free 1yr subscription for monotoring all three credit agencies. That was nice.
