I prefer seeing the direct RSS link at a web site, and I use Firefox with the <a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/445/" rel="nofollow">Feedview</a> extension. This way I can view the RSS directly from the browser. For those I wish to keep, I am currently using <a href="http://sage.mozdev.org/" rel="nofollow">Sage</a> (Firefox extension) to aggregate the list. I am also experimenting with <a href="http://www.newsriver.org/" rel="nofollow">NewsRiver</a> in the <a href="http://hosting.opml.org/amyloo/osite/index.htm" rel="nofollow">OPML Editor</a>. Cheers!

First, I'll address what happens to your FeedBurner subscribers if you turn the feed off. Upon deleting your feed from our system you will be asked if you want us to put a permanent redirection in place. You will want to check yes. What this will do is seamlessley move your subscribers from your FeedBurner feed back to your source feed. We do not want to lock publishers in as the content and subscribers are not ours. Regarding FeedBurner benefits: the first one off the top is of course stats but there are many more. Some of the other interesting features we provide are BrowserFriendly, SmartFeed and FeedFlare. BrowserFriendly will make your feed look, well, BrowserFriendly. It'll look like a webpage rather than a page of code and will include one-click subscribe buttons to the most popular services making it easy for users to subscribe. SmartFeed allows you to only offer one version of your feed since, on the backend, we will serve up whatever feed format the requesting application is known to need. Your FeedBurner feed is universal in that sense and users don't have to know what format they need to grab. FeedFlare allows you to add interactivity to your feed (and site) through little text links at the footer of each post. These links can be e-mail this, add to delicious, etc. and you can even create your own custom Flares! There is a lot to explore in the FeedBurner account so I would encourage you to see how much more value you can gain from the service. If you have any questions please let me know as I am happy to chat about any or all of our features. Hope this was helpful! Take care.
