The official marketplace is really best. And you should always read comments before dowloading any app from there to make sure it isn't a rogue app. The iTunes app marketplace has a high degree of oversight from Apple, while the official Android marketplace has very little oversight. However, bad apps will eventually be removed when noticed by enough market users. If the app has a very low star rating, you probably don't want it (it is buggy, doesn't do what it claims, or is malicious).
Please be careful out there, you could install an app that phishes for your passwords or that sends out spam from your device when you are connected to wifi. Check the ratings, read the comments, and, for the most part, stick to apps offered in the official market. If the app isn't offered in the market you should find out why and be satisfied with the answer (reasonable reasons (IMHO): it is opensource and there isn't a dev responsible who wants to send it through the market, it's a beta version offered by a dev with a good track record of other quality market apps, or a free trial version is there but the dev doesn't like the market terms for the pay version and reliable people vouch for the app).
