I've NEVER had a domain snagged from me by going directly to the domain (even when I wound up registering it a week or two later). I've had a domain taken from me multiple times by the domain registration sites... sometimes within a few hours.

I'm sure there are other ethical registrars / ISPs as well, I just don't know of any.
