It depends. What are you planning to hold in your IRA, and are you
planning to make frequent transactions (say, a monthly fund purchase
as you get paid), or just dump something in once a year? Consider
what you are actually planning to buy, and compare the transaction
fees at the different brokerages. For the frequent-small-investments
strategy, it's better to bypass the fund supermarket and invest
directly with the fund, as many of them have an "automatic investment
plan" in which they waive the usual account minimums as well as all
transaction fees.
