FWIW, I've used GoDaddy as well as a couple of others.  The only reason 
I've ever found to go with GoDaddy was that they were cheap.  I *hate* 
their website, interface, and their constant "buy more crap" screens.

That said, I've found their support to be mostly okay.

I have had some nightmare experiences which make GoDaddy seem like a 
walk in the park.  Look into the history of RegisterFly for one of them.

I've recently been working with NameCheap.com and been very happy with 
them.  I don't do anything but register domain names with these 
registrars, or at absolute most, forward some e-mail.  Any actual 
hosting of anything important is done elsewhere, partly because I want 
more control over features, and partly because I should be free to 
change registrars without having to change hosting arrangements.  
GoDaddy's hosting was the main source of problems I ever had with them. 
 I have no idea if NameCheap's hosting services are good or bad, but as 
a domain registrar, they've been perfectly nice to deal with and pretty 
close in price to GoDaddy.
