Fund Supermarket recommendations?

Hi,

I'm looking to open a Stocks and Shares ISA in the forthcoming new tax year. I would like to do this with a fund supermarket/discount IFA, as the savings available seem to be significant and I can't see any disadvantage (unless anyone knows different???).

Can anyone recommend a fund supermarket? I'm interested in:

- Ability to make monthly contributions, and the occasional lump sum.

- Reasonably low minimum investments.

- Ability to move between funds with minimal penalty.

- Ideally, manage the whole thing online.

- All combined with, of course, low charges.

I know of a few possibilities (and I'm sure there are some I don't know about):

- Fidelity - looks good but charges much higher than elsewhere.

- moneyworld-ifa.co.uk - cheaper but more basic.

- Hargreaves-Lansdown - cheap and give you a refund on the annual charge as well as reducing the initial charge.

- Torquil Clark - messy website!

Does anyone have any experience and any recommendations of these or any other fund supermarkets? Which would you recommend and which would you avoid?

Many thanks in advance.

offer 100% rebate of initial commissions on Stocks and Shares ISAs and 75% on renewal commission, which is one of the most competitive if you don't need advice on what to buy, although I know that
