After the constant downtimes and unreliable service: An aggregated list of better exchange options

To get this started, here is my initial list with comments from personal experience. I will update this list based on your experience and feedback, trying to present a fair view of each option.


https://poloniex.com

PRO: Fast trades, offers coins some other exchanges don't.

CON: Unavailable balances (e.g. right now STORJ), can be expensive, very bad customer service (unanswered tickets). Lots of community distrust.


https://bittrex.com

PRO: Fast trades, offers coins some other exchanges don't. Customer service replies but it takes quite some time.

CON: Some downtime recently and login issues reported.

PRO: One-stop solution to buy a researched and diversified crypto portfolio without several exchanges and wallet. Also low fees from what I've heard.

CON: In closed beta right now and will launch by invitation only to ensure service quality. (Saw the platform at an event a few weeks ago and would really love to get in.)


https://www.gdax.com

PRO: Professional setup for trading, pretty easy to use.

CON: Verification can take long, owned by CoinBase (dealbreaker for some).

PRO: Good user interface and easy purchases.

CON: Slow, lots of downtime recently, expensive, only offers 3 coins.


https://www.kraken.com

PRO: Pretty good community rep (some complaints), interface works well.

CON: I read about withdrawal issues, which makes me nervous. Also, support totally overloaded, it can take weeks or months to get help, that sucks.

PRO: Leveraged trading options (I wouldn't recommend touching that, but there you go). Good volume.

CON: Customer support not great at times, had at least one hack I've heard of where they socialized the losses to all users, boo. Fees are mediocre.


Now:

Over to you: What platforms do you recommend or dislike and why? Please share and I'll add them above as a resource for all of us.
