When godaddy had one of their big SOPA snafu I switched to name.com.

name.com prices are good, UI is good, seems like a decent company. I guess they were bought last year by a larger company and I've noticed no negative changes.

gandi.net is a little more expensive but they are highly regarded as a company.

Name.com refused to do DNS properly if you used their bundled DNS service. They'd resolve any hostname, but if you hadn't defined it, then they'd resolve it to some search or ad page?

That's why I stopped using them. Namecheap, despite the idiotic name, seems pretty good.

The name.com bundled DNS service no longer does this, and hasn't for a while now.
