There should be plenty of options now. If you're in the US, Coinbase I heard is a good option. If you're in Europe, go for Bitstamp / Kraken.
Honestly if you don't buy a huge amount of Bitcoin, the exchange is just fine, since you can trade readily without much hassle. It's always good to have your own secure offline wallet though.
