Keep in mind that many if not all are merely resellers. I think ENOM is the largest actual Registrar and TUCOWS is the #2.
A giveaway is if you register a domain name with a "Registrar" and select the "use your default nameservers" or some such, and the IP addresses of the nameservers resolve to a netblock owned by the wholesaler. Gandi may be having price issues due to the exchange rate with France going very unfavorable. They are at the moment nearly twice what Network Solutions costs.
