1. NFCU - generous starting CL, credit products, usually a SP for CL's,  and helpful CSR's
2. DCU- generous CL and refi products, shared branching, free EQ score
3. Alliant- no fee CC and checking account, good banking rates

PSECU - amazing rates and large. CL NFCU- Great service large CL PENFED-Just Love them

NFCU- awesome credit lines, easy to qualify for loan products, decent rates Negatives- HP for everything

DCU- good credit lines, easy to qualify Negatives- okay rates, jump through hoops to get products

PENFED-good credit lines, awesome rates Negatives- Extremeley hard to qulaify for products even with perfect credit

if you live in the right geographic area or work for the right groups (again a limited situation) but I love First Community which is based in the St Louis metro area for thier interest bearing checking superb customer service and low fees basic credit cards. And the most competitive and efficient mortgages my realtor has seen.
Pen Fed has also caught my eye as a red cross volunteer but I havent applied.

Penfed, unlike NFCU, doesn't require a military relationship, anyone can join with a 15-20 donation to one of two charities.  That said, at least one of their cards, Defender, is restricted to military.
