After seeing the Hover thread[1], wondering what everyone would judge to be the most secure non-scumbaggy registrar in general?

Fabulous.com for portfolio holders. If I recall correctly, you can design specific protocols to unlock/make changes to a domain with them with your most important domains. http://fabulous.com/informationcenter/index.htm?formdata%5Bq...

NameCheap.com is the best retail registrar imo.

I've been happy with DomainMonster.com. Put 1and1.com on your scumbag list.
