Check out scalehobbyist.com  They have the lowest kit prices I have found.  I have never had a problem in my dealings with them.  The only issue might be in selection, but I always check them first to see if they stock what I'm looking for.

I've always had luck with Squadron and Amazon.com. Houseofhobbies.com is another good one. I never tried sprue bros. but one of my buddies said he's had consistent issues with them taking forever to ship or billing then never shipping.

Squadron's prices have gotten insane. Recently they had a 25% off sale on everything, so I loaded up a cart with things I'd like and then on a whim compared prices with other vendors.

Scale Hobbyist and Hobbylinc had the items cheaper at their regular every day prices than Squadron did at 25% off. Including even a couple Squadron brand items! 

 Sprue Brothers can be a little pricey too, although they do have some hard to find items that others may not have.

 If you are willing to wait a few weeks, Hannants in the UK has a good selection of hard to find items at good prices. Sometimes I can buy a hard to find detail item from them and have it shipped all the way across the pond for cheaper than it would be to buy it from Sprue Bothers.

MegaHobby is a good online store! I have bought alot of kits, paints, supplies from them and the prices are competitive.
