With respect to expesnes it seems that the vanguard funds have very low expenses compared to a lot of others.
Im trying to research this same subject. Im looking at a vanguard total stock market fund.
Im currently looking at VTSMX. It has a relativly high risk and it is trading at about $35.81. I may put a few thousand dollars in this just to see what it will do but I am going to wait until after the first of the year.

Expenses are not the end all be all. If a certain fund is 1% more in expenses but outperforms by 3%, I would say that is a pretty trade off. Take VTI for example, compare it to YACKX, PRPFX, SPECX and the S&P 500. Compare it over the last 5 years and lifetime. I would have gladly paid extra for those returns.
ETA: I also own some vanguard funds, so I am not totally against those.
