Almost anything but PayPal. I have both heard and experienced too many horror stories involving that company to ever trust them with money on which my livelihood depends.

ive been through one before, but it still comes out the simplest.

Maybe it's just me, but simplicity is below reliability and "will not freeze my accounts for no reason" on the list of important qualities of a payment processor.

37signals doesn't even accept PayPal, which I think is one smart move.
