Private registration has always been free at gandi.net. Also they do not suck.

Yea, but their domain registion prices are high. I have always appreciated the honesty/integrity/simplicity of gandi though.
$15-17 for .com/net/org, but as well as whois protection you also get a 1 year SSL cert. Unlike StartSSL, this includes fee-free revocation. Probably not worth much given that 'Lets Encrypt' is just around the corner, but it's still a respectable gesture. They also have a really good management UI, responsive customer support, free (roundcube) webmail, and DNSSEC management (Namecheap lacks this). Also, they're French, if you're feeling a bit US-wary lately.
You might want to try NameSilo. Cheap, free privacy, 2FA, acceptable interface.
I second NameSilo. $8.99/domain and so far that's it - no jacking the price on renewal etc.
Uniregistry is great but they have limited TLD support, sadly.
A new provider? Us old timers stay away from those.

Do you remember RegisterFly?

Or NameTerrific.
They also include email with every domain, which works quite well.
