I have used bitinstant, bitfloor, and have most recently been using bitme. Bitfloor was the best as it was fastest and had no limits, it's too bad about it getting robbed. Bitme is ok, but it's mildly annoying that you don't just buy directly from them and have to exchange with other members at their prices, and the $500 max/week sucks, I have to have 3 accounts just to fill one order on here sometimes.
So, what place do you use? What do you think's the best?
I'd like to have a cash deposit at a local bank w/out a maximum. Any vendors on here that are good? I've never gone through anyone on SR.

I've heard good things about Sugar Mama, but other than having heard lots of good things from other people I have no opinion whatsoever myself.
I generally use BitInstant to bitcoin address. Did BitInstant to MtGox one time during their lack of coin transfers to an arbitrary bitcoin address... but that's all. Doesn't require verification if you don't access from Tor. BTC-e.com seems reputable and is sometimes almost 40-50 cents cheaper per coin, but I think people have run into trouble when they don't check the "BitInstant reserve: " amount on the lower right of the main page. If it's lower than your order, I think you're going to be waiting awhile for the deposit to go through.
Again, never used them though.

IMO, bitme is much better than bitinstant because of the fee's they charge. They both have a $500 max though. I might get a verified bitme account to remove the limit, but this seems way too revealing. Does anyone have a verified bitme account?

I'm going to give her a try today. I've seen her around but never gone through her. Seems promising!

I used Bitme for my first bitcoin transaction and it worked perfectly. I plan on using them again in the next couple of days. Cash deposit at Chase then in my account within 15 minutes after sending copy of receipt (emailed photo). I'm not too concerned about security with that method as I used tormail and scrubbed the exif.

hands down, https://bitcurex.com/
Pros:
accounts link to anonymous Visa electron cards that allow withdrawals from btc to ATM-withdrawalable cash within an hour of withdrawal (unlike mtgox' 7day wire transfer wait)
Cons:
lack of users mean unreliable exchange rates, sometimes good vs mtgox price , sometimes bad
anyone else use https://bitcurex.com/ ?

Yes, bitme works great. It works nearly identically to the way bitfloor used to. Super fast. Only downside is the $500 max, which means looking suspicious if you go through more than couple times... the guy at my local chase thinks I'm a god damn bitcoin broker. Luckily chase's are everywhere.
On another note, I have an exchange set up with sugar mama tomorrow and bitme. I'll update on how it goes with sugar mama, although i'm sure it'll go perfectly fine.

bitmarket.eu

I'd like to note that today I used Sugar mama by moneygram and got the coins within a few hours hour of sending the info. No fee's but the moneygram charge was 5.75% with a max deposit of $899.
I also used bitme once again and got the coins within an hour of handing over the money. I paid .3 over the BTC rate because it's a publicly driven which cost me a smaller amount than the moneygram.
Both were fairly painless in person, I didn't even have to write anything at chase for bitme this time, and at walmart for the moneygram I just used a fake name and address. Worked like a charm for both.
I'll check out the two above as well.

Bitmarket? I'm with them and about to change. They have taken over 24hrs to send my BT's to my SR account.
Had a few members yesterday tell me not to use their service again, so i've just signed up to MtGox...will see how they are, hopefully faster.

Blue Sky Traders, by far.

Blue Sky Traders, by far.
Oh, yes. I've only heard great things, problem is that there's not a BoA within an hour of me. :(

What is the exact address for bitme? People keep talking about it but not actually saying what it is
-
Bitcoin-central.net worked for me. Useful for non-us users. Transferred into my account within 2 hours from a EU bank transfer and from then 30minutes to my SR.

https://bitme.com/

Yes, this is an excellent suggestion.
-
BlueSkyTraders are incredible. If you can make it to a BoA, it's absolutely worth it.

Bitcopia.com has been great for me.
