I ran this on my DNS server at work:
Recommended configuration (fastest + nearest):
----------------------------------------------
nameserver 208.67.222.222  # OpenDNS-2
nameserver 127.0.0.1       # Localhost IPv4
nameserver 209.18.47.61    # RoadRunner NC US

********************************************************************************
In this test, OpenDNS-2 is 23.7%: Faster
********************************************************************************

It also reported hijacked and incorrect domain lookups which is
worrying. Are these false positives ?
