Pool.com and SnapNames.com
They get about 98% of the market. And they're reliable... you don't pay until you get the domain. If many people try to get the same domain, you go into a private auction and the highest bid wins. So it's not really first come first serve.
With godaddy, you have to pay upfront, and they only catch .cc's and other country codes. Godaddy usually fails at .nets and .coms (unless ofcourse no one else tried to catch the domain). Also, if the domain is Godaddy registered, they send it to their public auction at The Domain Name Aftermarket, EVEN IF you paid around $20 upfront for catch before it dropped. If they dont get the domain, however, you still have 1 year to use your catch credit on another domain, before it expires.
If I were you, I would go for SnapNames AND Pool. No harm in trying both, since you don't pay unless you get the domain.
