I found a site that has recently done an indepth and detailed broker review of 12 different major brokers.

Everything to details about registration processes to trading to charts, complete with screen shots. See if you agree with the reviewer.
One caveat: I did notice that his glowing review of e-Trade may have something to do with the fact that there is a sponsored link to e-Trade on his site.
