This is only my personal opinion but i would go with someone like
interactivebrokers.com. The money you save in commissions will more than offset any upfront miles or $50 or $100 you will get from other brokers. Their fee is half a cent per share. So you buy 200 shares and pay only 1 dollar. Buy 1000 shares and pay only 5 dollars. Other advantages. You can buy stocks on Toronto stock exchange, London stock exchage and many others. Very low margin rates.
