Anyone do this? You know, E*Trade, Datek, Suretrade, etc....?

What broker do you use and why?

I'm interested in investing in Mutual Funds (growth mostly, since I have many years until retirement). I already have other retirment accounts, including a Deferred Compensation (section 457) account. I don't put much into it (about $100 - $120 twice a month over the last 5 years or so), but it's sitting as just over $15,000 right now.

What I need is the ability to open an online accout with minimal balance and make contributions either on a regular basis (small), or whenever I feel like it (bit larger).

I found this at E*Trade, and it looks rather promising.

Recommendations?
