I spent a while looking, my biggest criteria was that they have a good stock of stuff, nothing worse than having to source stuff from a bunch of different places and pay a pile of shipping.
For beads and Daiichi hooks I use these guys, best prices on those two items by far.

For everything else I use these guys, very knowledgeable and helpful as well as friendly. If you order make sure to specify to ship using USPS.

I would like to buy with a Canadian Co. but, they are all a little limited in their stock, I could get my stuff from multiple Canadian Companies but would be paying shipping to many times.

Calgary based online shop. I believe Oscar is also looking to open a store in North Calgary.
Hardly has any merchandise though, everybody go bug him to contact Echo, Orvis, Waterworks-Lamson and Redington and get some good brands in stock!

Don't remember exactly, around 15 to 20 per order I think.

icky is fantastic. I buy all the flies that I hate to tie myself on there, they are cheaper fly's so take a peak when you get them. Good quality, and here and there one slips through thats not tight and just needs a dab of head cement.
buck a fly is tough to beat.

x4, I think, for Icky. Good flies, great service.
reelflies.ca is also not bad, and has a different selection.

And, with every order, he sends a card for a discount on the next one!

Icky is great for flies from what I heard (I tie flies, so i dont buy too much), really good quality flies and fast service. vemoflyfishing.com is really good for deals in gear. I got a pair of waders with discount just for wait 3 days to get them and i'm working in a deal for an outcast scout pontoon boat....let's see.
I like to support all the locals online entrepreneurs.

Used Canadian llama many times. Good service and very good beads. Excellent.
Back orders were shipped to me at no shipping cost to me. Can't beat that. Very good guy to talk to also.
