Which platform do Beyonders use to manage their ETF's?

Right now, I'm conflicted between Questrade vs. ScotiaBank iTrade and just looking for advice first-hand on what others use.

I found this review that puts the edge over Questrade: http://dividendwisp.blogspot.ca/2014/10/brokerage-review-scotia-itrade-vs.html

This is for a LIRA that I can play around with.

If you're going to be buying continuously in relative small amounts, Questrade hands down for the free ETF purchases.

I do my couch potato with Questrade and have no issues. You can dollar cost average to single shares if you want without incurring extra fees.

I have been with Questrade for about 8 years and I have been happy with them. I like that they don't offer anything but investments. I don't want to deal with a bank who will be offering me credits cards etc. This way they focus on the core business.
