Supply Base - Who is good? Where do you go?

Ok, This has probably been asked before and I DID search before posting ...

Where do you get your non-KOP bits and pieces.

We used the following suppliers, I'd like to know who is better, cheaper, faster:
  • transmissions, aluminum sprockets, wheels - AndyMark
  • pneumatic fittings, timing belts and sprockets, lead screws, couplings, bearings, conveyor belting treads - McMaster-Carr
  • controls components - digiKey
  • PWM cables - crimp connectors - Hansen Hobbies
  • cylinders - straight from Bimba
  • Aluminum stock - Metal Mart
  • All plastics - Laird Plastics

Where'd you go? Need a good source for gearboxes or buy BB transmissions now for future use 'cause you cannot wait until the season starts.
