FWIW about 13 years ago when I needed to register some domain names I chose inww.com which is really Melbourne IT. Why them? Simple. Read the terms of service you are agreeing to. At the time a lot of them were very very biased against the consumer. Melbourne IT was different, they were one of the few who had a reasonable policy. Note that these terms are different for each registrar. I'm not talking about the common ICANN rules which all registrars also require consumers to agree to. I don't know the current situation, for all I know Melbourne IT now has the worst terms of service in the world! Simple inertia has kept my accounts from moving. Just something to think about when picking a registrar.
