I also have several domains registered with godaddy and have been
happy with their service.  The website is terrible but they're cheap
and get the job done.   The ability to have full control over DNS
records is a nice plus.

If you do decide to go with them I would recommend two things
 1) The site is up-sell hell so it will save you time if you decide
what level of service you want before you start the process, e.g. Do
you just want name registration or do you want them to host a web site
too?

  2) While I don't blame this on godaddy, whatever email address you
register with will most likely be harvested by a spammer.  You may
want to set up a separate email account for this.
