I've tried a handful of streaming options. Netflix and Amazon Prime are my two favorites by far. Amazon Prime gives you free two day shipping on a ton of stuff from Amazon with no minimum purchase price, and in addition gives you free streaming of some number of shows. They share some of the same content as Netflix, but have some extras, and are missing some things Netflix has. It costs less than Netflix overall but sometimes it is hard to tell what you can stream for free and what you'd have to pay for.
Netflix is pretty much the baseline. It is good, no ads, reasonable selection, keeps your spot, and does a fair job of giving you recommendations. Also not terribly expensive.
Hulu probably has a larger library of shows/movies to watch. The downside is you get ads. A lot of ads. There are even ads in Hulu's pay subscription. If you don't mind the ads or taking a 2.5 minute break to go get food or stretch several times during your show, the free service isn't the worst. I've done the free trial of Hulu Plus and I'd never pay for it.
I hear good things about Roku. I have a Playstation and Chromecast that I use for streaming, so unfortunately I do not have any first-hand experience.
