Who do you guys use for online trading? I've heard a few positive things about Scottrade and E-Trade. Before I open up an account with anyone, I'd appreciate a few opinions on who's the best. Thanks...

Depends on what you need from a broker. I'd start here:

SoGoInvest - $3 per trade
Zecco - Free traes

If you want to invest long term instead of trade, vanguard.com to buy and hold stock index mutual funds.

didn't BofA just initiate some program where up to 30 trades per month are free through them if you maintain $25k in accounts with em?

I'm looking at Scottrade, FirstTrade and AmeriTrade. Any experiences with them?
