I personally use Discover for savings, which is currently at 0.90%, and Schwab for checking. Online-only banks aren't for everyone, but I love just depositing checks in the app, and I can use any ATM in the world for free. I do have a savings account with Chase that I keep $1k in just for the rare occasion when I need to do something crazy (like when I had to deposit $7500 in cash when I sold a car).
I personally wouldn't get TOO hung up on splitting hairs between online savings account rates, though. They change often, and the reality is that you're losing money to inflation in a savings account far faster than the difference between 0.1% and 0.9%.
