PNC Financial Services: Facing the Heat

Mercantile was a conservative, "safe" and highly rated bank. PNC completed their takeover of Mercantile in late 2007. PNC's investments are heavily skewed towards commercial real estate and real estate loans. As a simple investor with PNC (Checking and other accounts) I was wondering whether an assessment of MD based banks exists that would provide a truly useful comparison for investors looking for the safest haven. Comments or suggestions of a particular bank would be welcome. Thanks
