Ninja Trader works with IB and Amp, both of whom provide market data. I can vouch for the Amp data, however I don't have any experience with IB's data.

A lot depends on which order entry platform you want to use. If you want a high end platform you'll pay for it either as a monthly platform fee or an additional per contract cost. If you're willing to use a broker's own (simpler) platform the cost is less. You can easily beat Interactive broker's rates, they are not very competitive on futures, you can get somebody less expensive and who will answer the phones when you need them.

I find Infinity to be OK, and they also have a special offer on the midcap contract at the moment if you fancy trying that. There are many other companies as well.
