IF - There is no malintent, or a kind of scam, I can open an account with MTGox. Can these be growing headaches of a company? Or would this be a kind of scam - or may be government will shut them down?
If there is no bad intent - then they are OK with me.

I dont believe they want to scam anybody, but you must understant it is company which may turn to insolvency because of legal problems in US. And any money or Bitcoins at MtGox are not yours, so pretty risky keep there something
To answer you as direct as possible, you can trust mt.gox. They won't scam you, although they are not perfect.
Hmmmm. So better not put eggs in Bitstamps basket.
I am still considering MTGox - but nobody tell that if they started to scam people or it is just growing pains.

Bitstamp Ltd. is located in Berkshire, UK but it is just a Ltd. which is not a sign of credibility as such.
While this is the businesses address i think i read that they were based in eastern europe.

I am from Turkey - but I want an established firm MtGox, at first looks as a legitimate one. I did not research it though.
Are they based in Japan? There should be more regulation there, may be more than US and EU?
Withdrawal time length is not important, as long as they have no bad intent, or they are collapsing. If it is some procedure - then no problems.
The problem is I opened a support ticket on how to deposit them - no response so far in 2 day. That rings some bells. But when I open an account with them - I will just buy and wait - no trade. Long term. So I do not believe I should need support a lot. Yubikey etc are a nice feature.
But as I understand I will wait almost 10 days for the deposit to appear - That's kinda lot.

What about the Bitstamps you mention? Where are they located? Are they a large company?

Gox takes several weeks to process information, accounts and actual exchanging. I would use coinbase or campbx! Good luck!
If there was just one "best" exchange, everyone would use it and the others wouldn't exist.
Each exchange is "best" for a different group of people based on their local banking conditions, their countries restrictions, the frequency that they'll be making trades, the total amount of bitcoins they'll be acquiring, etc.
You've told us nothing about your situation, it is impossible for anyone to give educated advice.

btc-e, bitstamp requires account verification.
Does BTC-E now require ID verification if you only trade and withdraw cryptocoins ? Last time I used it (few months ago) they didnt require ID verification ...
btc-e, bitstamp requires account verification.
depends on your location. but for me its BTC-e. theyve been around almost aslong as gox if not longer and they have very few problems. not easy to get money directly to them but still easier than gox
i would keep in mind that if privacy/anonymity is a concern localbitcoins.com seems to be the only way to go as all the other relatively trustworthy exchanges require you to verify your account by submitting high-quality scans of id's and the like.
i just registered with bitstamp and was rather surprised to find such strict verification rules:
please correct me in case i have missed a service that respects privacy at a substantial amount ...
