Summary: 


I've had good luck with commissions at FULL SERVICE brokers, both Dean Witter
and Prudential Bache.  You tend to work up a personal relationship with the
broker, and even for my piddling transactions, the commissions have been
the same as Schwab.

Don't pan the research.  None of my brokers has (yet) to tout me onto some
hot offering, but the reserach departments performa a valuable service.  I
was interested in utility stocks, and their utilities summaries gave me all
the info I needed to make my own informed decision.  If this information is
also available summarized elsewhere, fine, but I can get it in a timely
manner free.
