If you have enough cash to qualify for ATM reimbursements then I would go with whatever bank has that option and the highest rates. Personally, I'd probably go with eTrade (pretty sure they have ATM reimbursements) b/c I have a stock account with them, they have done excellent with the customer service, and have good rates.

Currently, I have my checking account with First Citizens, but plan to go elsewhere sometime soon. They pissed me off because they kept my CD rate at 2.5% when the national average was over 4% and when I went to talk to them they tried to tell me 2.5% was somehow a good rate?!

Then, when I try to cash it out they tell me I can't b/c my father's name is on it (it was one he started when I was still a minor, but it should have freed up the moment I turned 18). So, I have to get my dad to cash it out, and instead of being reasonable human beings, they give him the run around too. They wouldn't just transfer it into my checking account, they made him get a damned cashier's check and make me redeposit it.
