For what its worth, I have also been happy with DynDNS as a registrar. 
They aren't the cheapest, at $15, but compared to the ads that I get
around renewal time advertising $60/year.  I have used a few of their
other services too and have found them to be reliable.  The customer
service is responsive and helpful too.  For example, at one point I tried
getting a 'green bar' full validation certificate and since the company
was too new, had to go through a process of getting an attorney to provide
some documentation.  During this process, the 'sale' expired and I didn't
get the cert.  They then gave me a credit for several hundred dollars for
the difference between a regular and a full validation certificate to use
to get one in the future.
