Jegs/Summit?
my auto teacher does all his dealings with summit... he swears by it. Guy knows what he's talkin about too.
I myself have never ordered from them though.
Auto teacher has a Nova 305 with about 400hp. pretty snazzy

I have had good luck with Summit. Usually, if I order something, the next day it's sitting on my front porch. I have never ordered from Jegs, can usually find what I want from Summit.
Depending on what you are looking for, you may want to check out Motorhaven as well-

Jegs/Summit?
once i tried to order a hurst shift boot and found out they were back-ordering them sooo much that i would finally get it in like three months! then i called jegs and got the same product in like one week.
but i like to deal w/ my local speedshop more. of course, if there is a price that my local shop cant beat i might think about ordering from a mailorder.

Summit.
I won't completely 'swear' by them anymore since I once spoke to a Summit guy who didn't go the extra 150% to help me find things for my vehicle** , but I've been there (to the Ohio store) enough times and got great service to not give up on them. And I'm glad I haven't.
Fast, friendly and courteous, they even took back two returns months and months after I had bought them via mail-order.
I have been using Summit since they were in a relatively little store on the outskirts of Akron, so I must admit I have a fondness for them. It's nice to see a company do well while serving its customers well.
** (What is a 'hot-rod'? Most guys at Summit know that it's a creation that takes effort and creativity to make, and that cars need not be the standard cookie-cutter easy-to-find-parts-for camaro/mustang/whatever. When looking for neat parts for some other fun vehicle, it's nice to have someone on your side who'll help you create what it is you want to build. I've found that by helping customers out, Summit wins customer loyalty and the priviliedge to do business with us.)
Best,
