local bank suggestions

EDIT: oops, this was supposed to go to b0st0n. I'll leave it here in case any of you have any ideas, too.

Also, seriously, USAA is the roxor. The deposit issue is the only thing that makes things rough, and it's my job's fault for not doing direct deposit.

I'm pondering opening an account with a local bank, since my new job doesn't do direct deposit and therefore I'll have to mail all my paychecks to Texas to deposit them. (My bank there has enough awesome benefits to validate any other trouble I'd have banking from afar.)

What local banks are offering awesome benefits for opening a checking account right now? What banks should I avoid?

Thanks b0st0n. Enjoy the weather.

If I knew of a way to get checks to places without mailing, I would just use the bank I already use. It has a "deposit via scanner" option, but I don't own a scanner.

Does your job have a scanner?

I won't say "no" because I'm sure the big boss's office does, but I don't know myself to have access to one.
