I have used all of those brokers in the past.

I prefer oanda over all of them.

The main advantage to oanda is interest on your margin deposit (credited daily), low spreads (i don't care what the spread is during news time), flexible lot size, and continuous interest payments on open positions. However, their charting does leave a lot to be desired. I use Metastock end of day for most of my analysis and oandas built in charting to view shorter time frames.

FXCM has been a fair broker, though their spreads are too high. I had a trade discrepancy with them in the past, they said it was due to a bad tick. I reentered the trade at market, and my account was credited the difference from where I was stopped out at. It is also convenient being able to fund your account with a credit card. Their free charting leaves a lot to be desired.

Forex.com, I did not like their interface and their spreads are the same as FXCM, the ability to trade/check positions from your mobile is great, but in all fairness I wasn't with them long enough to comment on anything more then that.
