I have used exclusively Safari for almost a year now, and before that have switched back and forth between Firefox, Camino and Safari. Safari used to have webpage compatibility issues and would crash or not open certain pages but now seems to be the smoothest, fastest, most stable and reliable browser available for Mac OSX. All the web browsers provide tabbed browsing, meaning that you do not have to open up and entirely new window each time you want to navigate to a different website-how convenient!
Firefox is super-stable and super compatible. It is also VERY customizable-there are hundreds of plug-ins to give Firefox new and different abilities that were not originally available. Navigate here (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/) if you want to learn more.
Camino is much like Firefox (it should be-it's made by the same people) and offers tabbed browsing and popup blockers, much like many other browsers for the Mac.
Opera is another free browser providing tabs and a popup blocker.
Seamonkey is unique in that it combines web-browser, email, newsgroups, IRC chat and HTML editing all into one program. (source:http://8help.osu.edu/1234.html) This sounds very convenient as it is an all in one for internet work!
In my experience, Safari or Firefox are both solid choices for your Mac system. It is always a good idea to have more than one browser on your computer in case you do come across the rare website with compatibility issues.
