What is the best stock footage website?

Anyone have an opinion on ArtBeats?

I've got footage up on RevoStock. Sold one clip so far this year, out of 31 clips I put there. $21 a year income from stock footage, who woulda' thunk it? :)

Am going through the extensive paperwork to get a few pieces of footage submitted to ArtBeats.
 
I submit to Thought Equity as a supplier. I don't have much footage (only 230 clips) most supplies have a thousand clips or more. But either way. I usually sell a clip or two every quarter (I get paid quarterly) my average income per quarter is about $250-$350. For the most part I get between $20 and $200 dollars per clip depending on the usage. Most of my stuff is royalty free so the price is lower. But I have a couple that are rights managed and I recently had one of those sell for $3,500 and I got about $1,200 for that (35%).
 
I'm gonna hate myself for this...

I use Pond5 as my primary seller, although I do sell through RevoStock, Shutterstock and a few others. But Pond5 lets me set my own price (I determine the value of my own footage, not someone else) and they split things with me 50/50.

I make about 65% of my income from stock footage and the more my portfolio grows, the more I make.

On the few occasions where I have needed stock footage, I have purchased from Pond5 even if I know the same artist has it cheaper on another site because Pond5 is more supportive and fair with artists than any other stock agency.
