Who's your top film gear vendor? (gaff tape, gels, ect)

I was curious who everyone uses for their gear. Im looking for a new shop to buy my gear from.

Maybe we can compile a list of who has the best prices on some of the most vital gear.

For example:
who has the best price on gels/filters?
who sells the cheapest gaff tape?

OR

Where have you found the same equipment/parts/gear but under a different "name" for a fraction of the cost.

Who sells gels (for theatre or some other application) that charges a fraction of what rosco/lee charges. For example, you can buy a complete tool belt from home depot for $30. But a place like filmtools will charge $30 for just one pouch and call it an "AC pouch".

I like to order my tapes from Uline.com they are a large manufacturer and happen to sell parmacel tape (gaffer tape) for cheap (no film tax).
 
2" wide gaffer's tape for $17/roll? That's not exactly cheap. Locally it's $14-15 a roll.

I like this thread though... it would be great to have a consolidated "goto" list.

I use Sony miniDV tapes (yes, I know I know... but I had a trv900 first and I just stayed with this tape since I already had a hundred shot)... anyway... about $2.50/ea from edgewise media.
