Wherever you choose, make sure you research the fees. I chose Vanguard because they are cheap. Once you have over $5,000, you don't incur fees. Below $5,000 is only a $10 fee per year which isn't bad.

(Unless you want to invest in an index fund - those are an additional $10 per year until you hit $10,000)

Other than fees, just research what you can invest in (typically mutual funds) and make sure the place you choose has funds you feel good about putting your money in.
