Besides Binance.com, I like using Huobi Global. Haven't had any problems as of yet, but it's been almost a year since I've used it so do your due diligence.
I heard people who use binance.com in the US... then moved on to binance.us... which is basically almost the same thing? Its only with other us traders right? But is there a ton of volume there? And do they have the exact coins that are traded in binance.com?
Binance.us has far less market liquidity and far less trading pairs. You can check them out here:

I think you're allowed to use Binance.US regardless where you are right now, as long as you're a US citizen.
