I'm not sure that any online broker is "best." It will depend on what features, and level of service, you want.
I use Scottrade and have been very satisfied. They have a good trading platform, excellent customer service, and reasonable fees. But they are not the cheapest, and there are brokers which provide more features. For me, they are the best value for what I want in an online broker.
Visit the websites for Scottrade, Etrade, Schwab, and Sharebuilder. That will give you a feel for navigating their sites. And you can see what each one offers and decide what is the "best" value for you.

I like Charles Schwab but you have to go in to create an account first.

That's right: $91 Trillion in derivatives, financed by 1 1/4 trillion dollars of investor assets. That's almost double the total global GDP (approx. $48 Trillion) for JP Morgan alone. Funny money. IOU's. Another $34 Trillion for CitiBank and $32 Trillion for Bank of America, each with $1 1/4 Trillion backing their bets.

As Paul Harvery would say, "And now for the rest of the story." These are very
interesting looking numbers. And very revealing. While it's true that existing
single family home sales were up 2.8% month to month-- they were down 22.9%
year to year. How does that old saw go? Figures don't lie; but liars figure?
