A few that I have experience with:
WSEX is the best IMO. Their software eats so little data that if they were in Africa they'd be getting humanitarian aid.
Skybook/IIS is very good in that they leave the lines up very late, sometimes up to 2 min. after the start of the game.
Oly, Hollywood and CRIS have been quite reliable over the years for me.
Pinnacle is sychronized to the atomic clock which makes them reliable but when the lines are moving fast it's almost impossible to get a bet in because it keeps getting rejected.
WWTS gobbles a lot of data and sometimes has processing delays at crunch times.
5dimes has some serious delay issues at crunch times ... sometimes the software won't even load.

The fact that it doesn't require you to CONFIRM means that it is easy to make a mistake and not get a chance to double check it.
I made a mistake and I know it was my fault but I ended up playing $100 more than I wanted to. I caught the mistake after it was accepted and had to pay an extra $10 to make a play the other way for $100.
I like Pinny the best. How can anyone not like the dynamic lines? It would be no different than WSEX (with the added benefit of being able to make multiple plays and wagers for something like $150) if they didn't have a confirmation screen.

Maybe they've fixed it in the last couple of years, but if you were anywhere near crunch time at Las Palmas, you better just pick up the phone-because you aren't getting into the web site. To their credit, they were aware of it & left games up for a minute or two after kickoff to minimize the # of people who got shut out.

I actually like this aspect since it's one less step in the process. Plus, it reduces the window of time in which the line might change (for example, 2nd half betting when lines change rapidly). However, I can certainly see your side. As in the timezone thread, this is another example of how user-configurable preferences would be a nice feature. In this case, an option to enable/disable confirmation prompts would suffice.
