Best place to trade BTC for PTS?

I've been using Cryptsy with good success.  Thanks!

Both have worked well for me, but if choosing between the two look for the one with the better price (more PTS for your BTC means more BTS)!

I prefer bter.com over cryptsy.  I've had deposits on the more obscure currencies take a day or two and a support ticket before showing up on cryptsy, which doesn't inspire much confidence.

I used bter.com and https://www.cryptsy.com/ never had a problem.

Go to Cryptsy.com

Despite the "beware cryptsy!!!!!1!" threads right under here?

Hi Guys, interested in establishing a small position in PTS.  I'm very interested in the possibility of distributing many centrally controlled functions of the internet; from what I read that's what bitshares will be all about.

I've been using BTC for a while, but I've never used an online exchange before and frankly it's freaking me out...you read so many horror stories.

So, which exchange would you recommend for a noobish buyer wanting to trade maybe .25 btc into protoshares? Also the only link I could find for wallet software was broken.  Damned if I'm gonna leave my balance on an exchange....
