401(k) rollover options
I'm looking at rolling over a 401(k) to an IRA. I'm leaning towards Vanguard, but has anyone on here had any positive/negative experience with them or any other companies?
Any suggestion/inputs are appreciated.

401k Rollover Rules | 401kRolloverRules.com
Check out the bullet points on that website if you are not familiar with 401K rollover rules. It is easy to make a VERY expensive mistake if you don't do a "trustee to trustee" rollover. If you go with Vanguard, they do pretty painless trustee to trustee transactions. You just fill out some papers at Vanguard telling them where you want the money to go and to give them permission to initiate the rollover. You also will likely have to fill out paperwork with the 401K custodian before you have Vanguard initiate anything.

Have you had accounts with Vanguard? Looking over their info and speaking to them, it all seems pretty straightforward. I've always stuck to basics when it comes to finance (save up to buy, don't take on debt, sack away money, etc.) but we're starting to move into some investment strategy.
