My opinion on ISPs is to go with a small local company. This is to help avaid the mountain of spam. Spammers try combinations of names with the most common domains (AOL, hotmail, yahoo, msn, etc) because they are most likely to get a real address. I personally use one from my Alma Matter's alumni association, then use a yahoo account wherever I need to leave an email address. Keeping spam away from my regular account.

As a side note, to further avoid spam, there is a site called mailinator (www.mailinator.com) that will give you a temporary account (lasts 1 hour) so that you can respond to a confirmation email if needed. Again this keeps the spam away from you.
