Wherever a google search reveals has the thing I want at the best price and/or can deliver within an acceptable time frame. That's really as far as it goes with me, I've had so little trouble buying from anyone over the years that I can't honestly say that any really stand out as providing exceptionally good or bad service.
I buy a LOT of component stuff from ebay - battery straps, nuts + bolts, connectors, adapters, wire ... search -> cheapest first -> bang.

Me too - ebay seems great for small things as often the price is very good and you can find free delivery. If I'm ordering something from Hobby King UK I might add these on, but they are often out of stock and with a set delivery cost of like £5 it's not worth it otherwise.
Other than that I tend to use Banggood as they have some stuff in the UK, HobbyKing UK for buying models/lipos (but only when I have a reasonably sized order because of delivery costs)
I try not to buy from China unless I have to as it's time and potential import tax, but HobbyKing, Banggood, GoodluckBuy and ebay again all get a look in. The one I've struck off my list is Aliexpress. Although this is essentially different sellers on there a bit like ebay, with 2 orders and 2 huge hassles getting the wrong thing through I've decided not to bother anymore.
Same as those 3 ^^^^
www.Surveilzone.com (http://www.surveilzone.com)
Quad props, VTXs ect.
Quadcopters.co.uk 'cos I get fed up waiting for overseas stuff to turn up just to save a few quid. Can't beat next day delivery (except of course same day delivery).
Flite FPV.com (http://flitefpv.com) He is UK based and always gets everything sent out really quickly. Not a bad word to say about the shop.
Surveilzone.com (http://www.surveilzone.com) for cameras and Vtxs.
ReadymadeRC (http://www.readymaderc.com/store/) are great, never get customs added even though they are in the states, my first port of call for 1.2 / 1.3GHz gear.
I tend to shop around as much for shipping charges as anything. I live in what some consider to be the Highlands & Islands. No islands in sight (other than traffic islands) and the landscape in my immediate area is about as mountainous as Lincolnshire. At worst some vendors won't even deliver to my address due to their arrangements with delivery companies. This is where the good old Royal Mail scores highly in my book with their peculiar universal charge idea. Couriers take note.
Long term favourites are :
Quadcopters.co.uk
Robotbirds/BRC Hobbies
FirstPersonView.co.uk
Banggood
