Look here for a list of exchanges trading Bitcoin and USD: http://www.bitcoincharts.com/markets/currency/USD.html
The volume column shows you that Mt. Gox is the undisputed volume leader, with almost 10 times the size of runner-ups BTC-e and Bitstamp.
Higher volume means higher liquidity (which is good) but also allows Mt. Gox to charge higher transaction fees (which is bad).

bitinstant & blockchain.info 
Kapiton.se for the Swedes
I recommend BTC-E. Coinbase is pretty good as well.. Fee's suck though. Meh
EVERYBODY RELIES ON MT GX HERE?
SEEMS RELIABLE, BUT NOT SO CHEAP COMPARED TO BANKS... IN LARGE AMOUNTS
WHAT ARE THE ALTERNATIVES?

Yes, mtgox is fine, you can transfer for free your bitcoins everywhere, just be aware that for someplaces you need to send from blockchain.info or your wallet!

Been using BTC-E, really good interface, do not listen to the trollbox.
I prefer (for SEPA transfers) Bitstamp
I prefer btc-e
Neither have the volume that mt-gox has, but both do alternate coins also.
BTC-E and Vicurex
gox needs a troll box seriously.
I dont know how good it is, but I love reading the troll box on the front page. Its hillarious!
MT Gox has the volume and therefore most liquidity...prices are usually higher on there than Bitstamp though.
I think because of the Ddos they have delayed the launch of other coins.
but maybe this week or next.

any idea on when mt gox will start supporting other alt-currencies?
I prefer and use bitstamp. It's cleaner, and the SEPA is great
Bitfloor was the best exchange but sadly they got shut down for being little too aggressive with their banking.
What did they do wrong, banking wise? (Never used Bitfloor myself, just wondering)
