It only takes a few minutes to create an account (and costs you nothing) at most registrars. Certain things will appeal to others that may not appeal to you, and vice versa. NameSilo has earned my business over the others such that I have left most of the registrars. BUT, what i like may not appeal to you.
Best thing is to just create an account at each one you are considering and browse around and just make your own opinion.
FWIW, my observations are this:
NameCheap: looks like a WordPress affiliate blog on first glance, not a registrar. If the frontend is indicative of what the forthcoming control panel will look like, then it's not something I'd likely bother with as I don't much care to click around to reveal hidden things.
GoDaddy: Domains are more expensive than they used to be, and they easily have the worst cluttered interface of the bunch. The idea of course is to get you to join the Domain Discount Club. Then there are the constant upsells. They do offer decent phone support though.
Network Solutions: still charging ridiculous prices for domains. But they do have a fairly nice control panel. For the price they charge, I would expect better support though than they offer.
NameSilo: completely uncluttered, straight-to-the-point interface and streamlined process for registrations, transfers and renewals -- with fully disclosed prices.
Moniker: Used to be a great registrar with great support. Then support seemed to only get done with Bari. Once she left for eNom, it was hit and miss with Moniker support, if you even managed to get a native English speaker you were lucky (I assume they switched to outsourced support).
Enom: I have not tried yet. I may consider giving Bari an email and see what she can do. I'll certainly not pay $13.95 for a domain registration which is apparently their standard .com registration.
Others here can likely give you their impressions of their favorite registrars. I have accounts at too many of them to list them all here.
Good luck.
