Best retail brokerage for bonds?

Any recommendations on the best retail platform for bonds? Not planning on actively trading, mainly looking to buy short-term paper (1 - 2 years) to hold to maturity. Fidelity and Interactive Brokers seem to be popular options but curious if there are other platforms worth looking into or if anyone has experience with either platform.
