Has anyone used marsco.com to trade stocks? How do you compare it with sharebuilder? what is the min balance needed for marsco? Can I keep some of the amount as cash and rest in stocks to meet the min balance criteria? What are other online brokers that charge low trading fees?

I can't speak directly to marsco, but I can help with other online brokers.
There are a lot of good brokererages depending on what you like and how you trade.
Barron's Online has a great article on brokerages that they publish each year. (I'll try to find you the link for the March 6,2006 article)
For basic stuff, E*Trade, Ameritrade, and Scottrade are sufficient. For more complex trades, I'd recommend Optionsxpress, ThinkorSwim, or interactivebrokers.
Based on what you put in your question, I'd recommend one of the first three, but all are very good. Cheapest probably is scottrade (of the larger online firms). Yes there are cheaper like interactivebrokers, but you'll have to get used to their software based platform (which is doable). They're only about $1/contract on options!
Brokerages like Fidelity are horrible for anyone with any decent experience.
So, decide what's important to you as a trader and compare the brokers! You can use the article, or go to each website as they all seem to have comparison charts!
And if there are particular things that you want to mention as being most important to you (such as executions, cust svc, cheapest trade - which you mentioned, flexibility on allowing you to do certain types of trades, stop and stop limit orders, contingent orders, great graphing, what if scenarios, training, etc), I'll be glad to help discuss this with you too!
If you have any questions, let me know.
Hope that helps!

I use tdameritrade.com and it is 9.99 per trade no matter what. And depending on your cash balance you get paid interest for the cash that you havein your account.
