Alternatives to Thinkorswim

Now that TOS is being bought by Ameritrade I need to figure out an alternative broker.

Here's my list of alternative option brokers that I need to look into. Please add any additional names and opinions regarding these other brokers. I want an options broker that offers quality executions, good analysis software, and good customer service.

-Interactive brokers
-Optionhouse
-Trade Monster
-Optionsxpress
-Tradeking

Don't ever go to OptionsXpress. They have a crude platform and sometimes I feel it was created with a hatchet. I have both TD Ameritrade and OptionsXpress accounts and the former is way more polished than the latter.
 
Regarding IB,
Do they charge cancel/modify fees for option spread orders (eg verticals, calendars)? Or is that fee only for individual option orders?
Thanks,

Def just explained to me that combo/spread orders don't get charged modify/cancel fees. That pretty much makes IB my next broker if I leave TOS.
Thanks everyone for the suggestions.
