+1 for Coinbase. I've had no problems so far with a few small trans.

only bad thing for coinbase its the time to wait.
This drives me mad, so i prefer trade with trusted member on the forum

Honestly? I think the exchanges are either all going to get shut down or get more regulation than the banks, I'd say buy gold or silver and then sell that on the markets, gets round the whole problem completely there are lots of restrictions on trading Bitcoin for other currencies right now but hardly any for commodities/goods which is what precious metals are described as.

Depending on where you are located, it might be worth checking out LocalBitcoins.com as well.

CoinBase if you can wait a few days. LocalBitcoins has been pretty good. You can usually buy locally online with a MoneyPak. Bitinstant as a last resort.

I think that all the major exchanger mentioned here in the forum are all good to do the trade (mtgox bitstamp btc-e etc. etc.) only to mention the most famous.
