A vote for Moniker from me as well, having settled for them 3 years ago, after a few years with 1and1 and some with Godaddy and having tried various other registrars. I use their control panel once every couple of months and although it doesn't have the "pretty" element to it, it's quite an easy and intuitive tool to work with and I even dare say it, is the most functional domain management tool I've seen. At a glance you can see which domain is locked, private, auto-renewed, etc and changing any of this is just a matter of selecting a couple of domains from the list and applying the action you want in a batch. For example, you want to transfer 5 domains away: 1- go to the domains manager 2- from the list, check each domain you wish to transfer away 3- click on the Transfer Domains Out action 4- simply follow the flow and provide the extra info where required. You could be done in less than a minute.
