In The Netherlands we have this awesome website www.bitonic.nl
You can already buy or sell bitcoins very easily with online banking.
However I understand that other country's dont have it so easy as us.
If there wouldnt be a site here like Bitonic I think I would use www.localbitcoins.com
Best would be to look for a trader, with a good reputation and is living close.
And just meet up in person I guess.

I use Coinbase usually. IMO, it is easy and intelligible
I agree, Coinbase is very easy and has a good interface. It's a good way to get money from your bank and into the BTC economy. It is not a good platform for trading, though.

Coinbase for small purchases.
I have used virwox a lot since they accept Paypal deposits. They are slow on withdrawals as there is a procedure to hold your first BTC withdrawal for 48 hours and their fees are steep. Try using a BTC Machine which dispense bitcoins, it typically takes a few minutes.
I have never had a problem with coinbase. With that said i barely register on the radar of buying and selling coins. I typically use coinbase.com to cash out. I believe they have a waiting period if you want more than 2,000 or maybe its 3,000 per day.

I was considering coinbase, but I heard they delay the price point or limit your purchase? Or they delay the coins to send you.
It seems quite some people have their trades cancelled when bitcoin price went up quickly.

I've used Coinbase, though I am not a huge fan. But it's an easy way to get money directly from your bank into bitcoin. I like to use cash on LBC when I can, but unfortunately never built up any feedback there, so not much luck posting ads.
Lamassu and other Bitcoin atms.
I use Coinbase to get my dollars into the system. That's the easiest way I've found as a US resident. After that, I usually send my coins to cold storage or to an exchange like BTCE or Bitfinex. I've never deposited money to an exchange before; it seems like a headache.

What are some options, besides localbitcoins.

Local Bitcoins is the only way I do it. Nothing better than grabbing some cash out of the ATM, going to a Starbucks, and handing it over for some BTC. I don't like to deal with exchanges when I don't have to. 
Well i hate transfer money to exchange cause it takes a long time. So i prefer using some trusted local/personal seller, or BTC-E (Okpay or PM for small amount)
Just like me
i almost never bought it, i earn it and if i need some cash then i sell it .
Hi,
I am trying not to buy BTC, but to work for it and earn it.

I did have to pay a premium to buy on localbitcoins, but it was comparable to the fees I paid to wire money to Bitstamp. So all in all, I preferred the cash route.
I used BitStamp and btc-e to buy bitcoins (and other cryptos), I prefer the first one because of its security and trust.
cash --> localbitcoins

This is the best method. A least likely chance to get scammed, and you can sometimes get more. Exchanges are somewhat risky depending on the amount of money you move.
It's good when you are the advertiser with reputation, then you can charge a premium like 3,4,6% over exchange price. Worse when you are the newbie and getting charted 3,4,6% premium!
