if you live in a major area, cash in person from a dealer on localbitcoins is the way to go. You could also get yourself a vanilla reload or a moneypak card and buy from one of the reputable BTC exchangers on the bitcointalk.org forum. If you're gonna do that, though, make sure you use escrow for the transaction because there are just too many scammers on there to do otherwise. I recommend John K. (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=31288) for any kind of escrow transactions on that site. He's handled many thousands of BTC worth of escrow for users on the site and has never screwed anybody over. He's probably the most stand-up guy you'll ever meet on there.

Coinbase is good if you don't mind them having a picture of your ID, if that is a concern go localbitcoins

kraken.
Depends on where you live really.. I use Coinbase and since I can't get fully verified have to use VirWox sometimes. It's that's kinda complicated but I can explain further if you need me too.
I think most people use localbitcoins, but haven't used it myself so I really can't give you much info it, sorry.
