What is the best and cheap domain registrar after GoDaddy?

• Gandi.net has one of the best privacy policies, they are based in Europe, and are more expensive than most ($15/year), though that includes (optional) private domain registration.
• Namecheap.com registrations start at $2.99 a year, and transfers at $8.99. Optional whois privacy card is less than $2.
• Dreamhost is a Califnornia based employee owned company with a strong commitment to free and open source software. They do not offer any Microsoft based hosting products. Dreamhost offers free privacy guard, and competative priced registrations, starting at $9.95 (or one year free for one domain with hosting). I have some domains registered with Dreamhost because I also host them there. I am not certain how convenient they are as a registar for domains that you don't host on their servers, though I am looking into it. I've been a Dreamhost hosting customer for over 5 years, and their customer support has always been great.
