Based on the years of experience with all these major distributor, we have found that:
1. Digikey has the fastest shipping and order process, they can guarantee your parts will be your desk next business day by 10:00am. The price is not the lowest, but still in a reasonable range.
2. Mouser has the best balance between the price and order process speed. It beats Digikey price on most case. 
3. Allied Elec. may have the best price sometime, but the shipping process is kind of slow, really slow sometime.
4. Newark used to work fine, unfortunately we slowly abandoned it since it lacks its own character on price and service, it seems we can live well without Newark.

A few other larger distributor (such as: Future Elec, Arrow, etc.) may get better price if your order are in the 100K range. But overall, Digikey, Mouser and Allied will meet our requirement.

What have you found?
