I use Chase because I've never once paid a random ass fee there, I can find a branch when I need it (like today's passport expedition: 3 post offices flatly don't offer it anymore, and the one I found which still does it doesn't take credit cards even though it said it did on the website... this whole experience was awkward, **bleep** it USPS and State Department both, update your websites jeezus) to get cash since I've used a debit card exactly once in 5 years and I don't carry it with me. Without that the kinda fustruating day would've ended on a sour note whereas now /shrug, holiday traffic and my fault for interviewing in December I guess and taking an international travel gig instead of buying a fancy car for a mid-life crisis.
They've also treated me absolutely righteously on both their credit card products and their mortgage origination... I can't complain when they've done everything right by me and nothing wrong, though I may be about to go push the boundaries of the relationship. Likewise even if I did someday move my personal accounts (which I have no reason to) I will likely never move my business checking unless they do something really unethical in my book. I know rationally that I shouldn't make it personal because Chase assuredly is not, but I actually like them. Stupid emotions.
I used DCU a while back when I lived in a Boston suburb and had absolutely no qualms with them. I still do non-trivial stuff with them now and they've still been fine; looked at coldly though, leaving my deposits at Chase does more for me relationship wise than it does if I were with DCU whom I get everything I want from anyway I suspect between my 16 year membership and my above the line FICO score.
USAA: Claim to fame financially is you can ACH money in, or out, with absolutely zero fees: if not for Chase or if I had more complicated needs for shoving money to various places I'd stop with the 2 step and just use this as the routing engine for my financial life. I'm sure there are others but I haven't found anyone who can do this on the limited amount of cash I leave laying around my checking accounts usually... if I went into Chase Private Client (which I might, not as enthused as I once was about self-directing investing all my assets) I think I'd get most if not all of the transfer fees removed from my Chase accounts (and that's true with many other banks too actually) but USAA giving it for free in my experience, simply golden.
I'd pick USAA hands down over any of my CUs or banks. The transfers are blazing fast! Plus their other offerings just sweeten the pot! I've considered making them my main bank many many times. The only thing that holds me back is the APY dividends suck.
Alliant FCU is another to consider for banking. Rates are good and transfers are fast as well.
Loans are average on rates.
Ally bank has been rock solid. They're in the process of making their transfers as fast as USAA.
Should be completed in January 2017. No fees for anything. Pop money transfers are free. Virus protection is free. Nice Web layout. APY rates are great for a bank!
PenFed is my auto loan metropolis! They normally beat everyone else. The banking side is average.
Nothing special here. Nothing glaringly bad either.
Customer service is terrific!
Fidelity investment's banking leg up is the no FTF fees on ATMs anywhere in the world. No fees or stipulations on amounts in accounts either.
Charles Schwab .. haven't utilized the checking account yet. No fees as far as I know so far. Cons:
APY sucks, HP to open account.
SunTrust has a nice Web layout. Hidden fees out the wahzoo if you're not paying attention. Customer service doesn't sound English speaking too me. Transfers are super slow. Too slow for my taste.
SP to open, they only pull Chex system. APY sucks, though they offer a host of other products. Including decent loans rates compared to most "banks".
NASA FCU isn't bad. Was a SP to open, generous with CC limits. They send out pre-approved check offerings sometimes.
SDFCU is similar to NASA. Not as liberal with transfers and charges fees if the transfers aren't over a certain dollar amount. Also pretty slow ACH as well. Rates are average. Pre-approved personal loans are good. APY sucks..Lol
Just joined Capital One, jury's still out on them. They sure like to hold on to your money as long as they can before releasing it. Lol
NEVER seen a bank hold money deposits that long!
Xcel FCU has a terrific APY on the Checking account 2.01%.
HP to join. Customer service sucks. Other loan rates are average. No fees on Checking or savings accounts.
NFCU customer service is OK. Rates are average.
APY is average. They are generous with CCs.
Has a shaky security department, they will lock accounts for no apparent reason. Making them the last CU I'd trust as a main banking hub.
My other credit unions are more regional. So I'll skip them.

BofA has been my primary bank since I went to college. Despite the experiences of some other people, I've had no problems with day to day stuff (I did have a problem getting my credit card with them converted to a chip card when they first started offering them, but ultimately got that resolved).
For my side business, I have a Chase account. It was originally opened at WaMu before the financial crisis since they had completely free accounts, and as far as I can tell it's still free. I'm not sure what'd happen if I were to open a brand new account today.
I also have Charles Schwab/Capital One 360/UNFCU, the first one for traveling and the others so that I could have "true" chip and PIN cards. 
On that note, UNFCU will reimburse up to $10 in ATM fees starting next month.
