What are some good publishers?

It depends on what genre your book is. Go to the bookstore (if you took the time to write a book, you can make the effort to do some practical research on publishing) and browse through the writing section. Writer's Digest publishes an annual guide called Writer's Market (Surprise!) that lists every publisher. They also have books on specific types of books--romance, science fiction, religion, etc. They also put out a monthly magazine and frequent supplements that list the most up-to-date information on who's coming and going in the publishing world. Before submitting anything you should always call the publisher to make sure the person listed in any guide is still there.

To be honest, however, it would be better for you to get an agent. Get the Guide to Literary Agents which will give you their bio and what kinds of books they represent. I think I've seen several answers in this category that list websites to check for agent authenticity. Go to Resolved Questions for that info. Most publishers don't want unsolicited material unless it's been recommended to them by a published author (preferably one of theirs) who will vouchsafe the first-timer's credibility. Best of luck.

Any publisher who's got books in the local bookstore in three or more different genres could be considered a good publisher.

A publisher whose books are not in stores can safely be considered a bad publisher, BTW.

It depends on how you define "good," I guess.

It depends, because it depends on what you like to read. I like Eastern philisophy/Martial Arts. So Frog publications are really good. Berkley Press, Snow Pub, Snow Lion and Shambala.
