I preffer Bitstamp, you have to scan your ID + utility bill, but easy SEPA transfers for Europeans
I think that all exchanges now requires verification.

Canada: VirtEx for buying BTC with funds transferred from your Canadian bank account (via a $5 electronic bill payment transaction)

btc-e is really hard to fund with usd (last time I checked). I don't know if it changed.
I would say it's btc-e because price is the lowest there and you don't have to show them your IDs. Also fees (0.2%) are quite small in comparison to other sites.

cheap
fast
safe

Mt. Gox has been rated as the biggest bitcoin exchange, but they have been having some serious issues lately. There are LOTS of places where one can buy bitcoin.
