eNom and other domain APIs - who's using them - good? bad?

I'm looking for a decent API solution for domain registration. I currently use the cheap ass hosted solution from godaddy which is good but I am developing and implementing a central billing and hosting solution and it is impossible to integrate godaddy into this unless i deposit $5k and upgrade to their API.

So before going down this road, let's discuss different api solutions for domain registration and their costs.

Enom - well known and a big company. How their support? do i get anyone speaking english?

godaddy/wildwestdomains - decent pricing, 5k deposit required, great 24/7 support, rep either answers calls or returns them within 30 minutes up to 9pm west coast time. They always try and sell you their services which conflicts with a hosting company. I can turn off the extra features but in the event the customer calls the support line they try and upsell services I don't offer through them. I don't feel like fielding calls about how to change name servers or update contact info so i need a company that will take these calls. https://www.securepaynet.net/gdshop/...5&app%5F hdr=

List of services needed.
API required
all the standard extentions. com, net, org, us, info, UKs, EUs bla bla bla
small deposit if any at all
flexible billing options, their biller or mine
add to this list.

Share your experiences. if you're a rep for any of these companies that can provide this, contact me.
