    Check out comparison site https://www.moneyfacts.co.uk.

    However, bear in mind that many of the providers are reducing interest rates at the moment (in anticipation of a BOE rate cut), so don't put it somewhere that hasn't yet reduced theirs! Check this board for updates, for example ING has just announced a 0.25% cut.

    Regarding monthly or annual interest, it's your decision. Do you need an income from the cash. If so, go for monthly. Otherwise, it doesn't really matter as long as the AER quoted is the same.
