EasyDNS is excellent, but more expensive. It isn't a good place to park a lot of domains, but a great place to host a few important ones. YC/HN uses them, I've contacted them a few times, nice Canandian group.

I use dnsimple, but I've heard good things about namecheap as well. Find any anti-godaddy thread on HN or Reddit and you'll see a ton more names.
