I use dotster.com and I've had no bad experiences with them, they also
seem generally recommended. However, I've never had any experience
(positive OR negative) with their tech support.

I've also heard OK things about gandi.net .

I used to use register.com , and never had problems with them (except
that their registration page was very unhelpful when my stroed CC
details were expired -- it wouldn't tell me what the problem was).
register.com were very expensive, probably because they include DNS
hosting by default. You could almost certainly get DNS hosting cheaper
elsewhere (eg zoneedit.com ) even if you can't control it yourself.
