What are some good alternatives?

Kijiji is pretty popular here in Canada.

Owned by eBay, as it happens. A long-time competitor (and part owner) of Craigslist.

In choosing between evils, I'll still stick with Craig.

Gumtree (also owned by eBay) is the CL for Australia, and I think they are making roads into the US and UK.
