Honestly, the MtGox site looks very unprofessional to me.
I created an account there, but never actually used it, because as far as I know, you cannot get Euro paid out from MtGox.
At the moment I use TradeHill, and I like it.

Mt. Gox has more volume and tradehill has a better rep IMO.
I like tradehill.
Gox has much bigger volume
Moved from Mt.Gox to TradeHill because TradeHill has SEPA transfers and the possibility to trade in EUR.
But Mt.Gox plattform is better, although slower because of the volume and traffic.

Haven't tried craigslist... it has turned to shit mostly saturated with spamomatica.
I'd like to second Craigslist, it's been fun meeting local members of the BTC community. When it comes to volume I still go with MTGox.
i use neither. craigslist for the win lol.
I use MTgox, never had any problems.
I do, and I back the wallet.dat up to an offline usb stick and delete and start new so I have a bunch of little savings wallets of BTC, but this is for when say - I want to buy or sell to either make some cash from my BTC or buy up a bunch of BTC when they drop to low prices....
As it stands you were screwed unless you had a balance on one of the sites, but with ExchB you can get money in and buy BTC fast.
I haven't tried selling and seeing how far they are with cashing out I'll let you know how that goes.

Why not just keep on your bitcoins on your own personal wallet on your pc?
Have you tried CampBX? They are US based and they have been growing steadily during the last months. If you decide to give them a shot, sign up through here to get a lifetime 10% discount 
For Europeans, definitely TradeHill. Mtgox's SEPA transfers have been offline for over a month...

Does campBX have the same several hour turn around for U.S. based? It was seriusly fast I deposited at about 9:30 had funds at around 11:30. I assume they are doing this manually now since they are a small operation but that's hella convenient. No high charges either.. just a buck.

Tradehill is the best if you live in Europe imho
The Dwolla to Gox wasn't bad but the bank to Dwolla and Dwolla to bank is slow as all hell.
Anyway I am happy to report a very good experience so far with exchangebitcoins.com
Deposited cash in the morning at a chase bank down the block, scanned and e-mailed them the receipt and my user info, and had the funds within a few hours, bought some bitcoins, and had them fairly fast. So as far as I know for anyone in the U.S. this is currently the only way if you have cash and you want bitcoins for something now, you can get it in under a day. I give them thumbs up.
Prices are going low so I bought a chunk. Someone's dumping.

I have been using Mt. Gox and Dwolla since May. Never had any major problems with either. In fact, it is only gotten better. It used to take several hours for a transfer from Dwolla to hit my Mt. Gox account. Now, it is around 10 minutes. Same with withdrawls from Mt. Gox to Dwolla. Never a problem executing trades on Gox either... always got my price. Sometimees Mt. Gox does run slow, but then I am not a day trader either.
Problem is the dwolla middle makes things SLOW for MtGox and I don't trust keeping large amounts of cash or bitcoins there. Want to do the trade and move em in or out - i think we have all learned our lessons from that.
I just deposited cash with ExchB we will see how fast they really are and if they are reliable. Seems a bit sketchy meaning you don't have a user name or account on the deposit.. you just send them a scan of the receipt but what if many users deposit the same amount from similar locations? Anyway so I deposited a very strange number to hopefully move it through fast.
That was about a half hour ago 9:30 am NYC business time let's see how fast they respond. If they are fast they have my business.

MTGOX has volume. Tradehill is kinda of dry. Mtgox also moves the market......tradehill follows.
UPDATE:
Well I signed up for all three. Did some small trading and tests on MtGox and all was fine.. have no opinion on tradehill because I'm not using paxum I don't like it. Signed up and am giving a test run of ExchangeB tomorrow and will let you know if their cash deposit system works and is a fast an reliable as they say it is. If it is, it seems to be the best option for U.S. bitcoin holders currently.
