If you have a country-specific TLD (like .ca for Canada) I would buy that. Otherwise .co is not bad. I find most of the others look spammy.
I've used Namecheap for my domains for the past 15 years or so with no issues. Their hosting is terrible though.
Do note though that for privacy purposes, a .us domain is not the best idea. You must be a U.S. citizen or business and registrars may try to verify your identity.
What's terrible about their hosting?
I've had major downtime issues and their support was awful. Performance is also not what I'd expect based on their advertised specs.
