Ask HN: Who is the best registrar for high-value domains today?

We bought several high-value domains for our new project, after quite some negotiation with the sellers (being first timers on this was a quite an experience, but this story will have wait for another time).

We now are looking for a reliable registrar to host the domains. Currently we are customers of GoDaddy, but following the elephantycide fiasco we thinking of using somebody else services.

Can anyone suggest a good, secure and non-bloated registrar, that can get the job done?

I checked out moniker.com, but following posts here on HN it seems that after the company was bought by Oversee, the service quality has dropped (as it unfortunately happens too often).

Thanks!
