In my opinion, Coinbase and Bitstamp are currently the only Bitcoin exchanges worth using. Coinbase might be the better exhange (as far as I know, it wasn't vulnerable to the recent attack), but Coinbase is unusable for non-Americans as it doesn't accept international money transfers. Meanwhile, you can transfer money to Bitstamp regardless of where you live in the world (and if you're in Europe, currency transfers to Bitstamp are free of charge).

Otherwise they use bitstamp as the clearing house - they basically act as a brokerage.
