Switching sites - recommendations?

I play NL25 6max and have accounts on Stars and FTP (FTP with rakeback) and thought I might go bonus hunting on another site. I play from the USA and would prefer a free deposit method like PokerStars's eChecks. Does anyone know of any of the top 5 poker sites that have similar deposit options for USA players as PokerStars does? Preferably one with rakeback and easy bonus fulfillment. Otherwise I guess I'll just stay at Stars.

I'm definitely a Stars devotee b/c I trust them and the interface/support is great, wide table selection, tons of players etc, just all around perfect site. This means a lot to me, so weigh that in before sending me off to joeblow poker that will result in another infamous scandal. If you think I'm probably just better off staying at stars I will.

Stars
it's not close anymore

But no rakeback at stars

I guess you can look at it as paying a premium for the vastly superior software and support. But is it worth the cost? Hmmm... Trying to figure that out myself.

Alright then. I figured at this point I could cashout and deposit for the maximum bonus offering at least one other site. But it's just not worth the hassle of setting all that up, doing the deposit validation with click2pay or whatever method they use, wait 3 days, be restricted to $50 first time load etc etc etc.

Stars it is..

Ive never had a problem with FTP software, plus they have autoreload. Ive send 3 times mails to support and they have answered always before 24 hours.

it sucks for small stakes players
shit i play 2/4 nl and even for me it sucks. i play at multiple sites though and its hard to meet month vpp requirements when im only 1-2 tabling stars

ftp is ok at 25nl
imo just the same as stars. 50nl is where the riggness begins lolol

i made a (semi) successful switch from stars to ipoker for a while, the rakebacks good but after a while the "meh" factor comes in and u realise stars is the one and only destination for poker playing

but since ur from the states u cant play there so i guess just go with FTP if u need a change
