Best Online Brokerage for Equity Research Reports?

Does anyone know what research you can access through the various online brokerage platforms? I don't have contacts in equity research or any other means to get reports (no Bloomberg terminal) but I'm looking to get my hands on some and this seems to be the best bet. Ideally I'm looking for the same stuff that institutional investors would get as opposed to some restricted or watered-down version.

I'm considering the following providers at this point.

  • Fidelity (called a rep and they said they had MS, Citi, Deutsche, some others but I don't know what types of reports or level of access you get)
  • Merrill Lynch (sounds like they get full access to BofA research)
  • TD Ameritrade (CS?)
  • Charles Schwab (CS?)

Does anyone know of other BB's / research providers that have relationships with the above?
