Mouser is my preferred supplier..  I actually design around parts 
available from Mouser where possible.   I generally order 100-500 pcs 
per line item, other than certain "passives" we use a lot of.  Never saw 
a problem.  Several years of ordering.  Can't vouch for the surface 
mount line, but any wrong-parts issues have always turned out to be my 
fault.

In most cases, Mouser will beat the Digikey price on most items (not 
price-match, I mean their price is normally lower).

Plus, orders over around $300 or $400 (I think 300) or higher get 
automatically upgraded to ups 2nd day air if you select 'ups ground' as 
the shipping method.

The only thing I use Digikey for are parts from suppliers like National 
Semiconductor which Mouser doesn't carry.
