I use Dreamhost because it's a no-bullshit admin, the price is decent, and I can easily host stuff that doesn't require a VPS or better (which is the majority of my domains) essentially for free.
One thing I'll point out though, sometime the lowest prices aren't the most important thing. The domain name people at work have recently chosen to shift all of our domains to a http://www.austdomains.com.au/ account, which is not the cheapest around, but apparently has a _much_ better multiple domain management system than any of our previous registrars. A buck or less extra per domain per year, but it saves a _lot_ of time/money when the management system "just works".
(Note, this is from over-the-cubicle conversations and overheard rants rather than firsthand experience, so don't read it as a personal recommendation of austdomains, rather as a warning that managing hundreds or many hundreds of domains is a different scale of problem from a few or a few dozen, and make sure if you're likely to run into that problem that you consider the suitability of your proposed registrars. I've been happy enough with Intaserve for my .au domains, but my work colleagues _hate_ them with a passion!)
I would stay away from 1and1. They have some pretty sketchy billing practices.
http://name.com I've used godaddy, namecheap, and 1&1, but ended up switching all my domains to name.com. One of the best interfaces I've used as it doesn't try to abstract the DNS records from you. That was one of my biggest issues with 1&1 and godaddy - their interface made it so that I never knew exactly what my DNS settings were, just what the spoon-fed messages that I was given told me. The only "abstracted" thi…

+1 on Dreamhost. They also throw in free domain privacy so your personal details aren't plastered all over the net.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
3rd recommendation for NameCheap here. I've used them for 4 years, never had a single problem with my domain portfolio. They are 2nd to no one. The bonus is that NC offers their excellent services at the cheapest prices... do a google search for their monthly coupon.
4th recommendation for namecheap. Easy management, no adds or clutter when purchasing, and as the name sugests, cheap.
http://godaddy.com/ - Cheap (esp. for just a year, renewals are a bit more) but their interface sucks. http://namecheap.com/ - Almost as cheap, and has a much better interface. Those are the two I use exclusively, minus some for ccTLD-specific domains.
