So far, I like Oanda. I'm currently trading a small amount of money with them to make sure things go the way I expect them to. I haven't finished my test trading yet, but a friend of mine (the man who got me interested in Forex) says he hasn't had any problems with them.
We're swing traders, though. I think a lot of the complaints you see are from scalpers (very, very short term traders). Some brokers take measures against scalping, so... your mileage on that may vary.
By the way, Oanda's spreads do change sometimes, especially (I think) around news time. They tell you that up front, so you probably already know, but I don't see it as a rip off if they let you know that's how they do business.
Happy trading!
