When I compare online brokers, I don't just look at price and I suggest that you do the same. Wells Fargo's prices are great but the interface isn't so awesome. If you want something vanilla, then it works fine but anything more sophisticated and you are out of luck. I stuck with some of the better ones in this comparison.

I know Zecco does but aren't there others? What about Wells Fargo or some other brokers that give people free trades? Who do you like amongst those?

They are owned by PEAK6 and is much smaller than the big players like Etrade but they offer a solid alternative. They don't have the bells and whistles like an integrated bank or an ATM card but for trading purposes, the most important factor I care about is the commissions.

There's something to be said when every experience you have with the broker is a good one and whenever you have questions, it's answered promptly and thoroughly. While it's not the cheapest trade, it's close enough for me to pick the better trading experience. Who wants a free trading broker who can't sustain itself in the long run anyway?

In fact, Scottrade has more branches than Charles Schwab. I haven't used Schwab because they have higher trading fees so I can't comment on whether they are good or not (although I suspect they are).

Because they're not just online? Are there other discount brokers with Schwab's model of online plus physical customer service centers that charge relatively low commissions?

Their offer is 10 free trades if you trade 25 times a month or if you have $25k in assets.

Let me know if it ever comes up guys. I appreciate it. Oh and let me add my 2 cents on the stock brokers. When I do a comparison, I only really care about price because everything else (reputation, customer service etc) change too often. To that end, I like Zecco for obvious reasons but at $2.95, optionshouse is really tempting too. I guess no one does. Let me know if it ever comes up guys. I appreciate it.
