I get whatever I can from CE Distribution (the business account version of Amplified Parts). I get almost all of my caps, resistors, pots, and switches from them. Occasionally I can only get what I need from Mouser or the like, but that has been rare.
Second in line is Mojotone, because they have good stuff and I've never had a bad experience with them or one of their products.
For Hipshot hardware (which I use often with bass builds), I use SportHiTech because they will special order anything you want from Hipshot, and they usually have the most competitive prices on it.
Where I used to order a lot through the Guitar [or Bass] Parts Resource Website, or other similar online parts retailers, I have taken to using various small parts retailers that I find on Reverb. Search for a part, sort by lowest to highest price, find someone with free shipping if possible. I can't even name everyone I've ordered from on Reverb, but doing it this way has replaced my older way of general hardware shopping via a retailer's Website.
Stwemac, almost never. I don't like that place. Same with Allparts.

Yes, you do. I have a hard time browsing their site.

Arkansas Musicworks
Shows up on my scan of Ebay stores
Save the fees by going direct to store
Also use Aliexpress for bridges and locking tuners
The K&D brand hardware looks to me to be exactly the same parts as Allparts
Be mindful of price
Cheapest price is generally not high quality
But the TOM style roller bridge is 5 bucks as opposed to 20 bucks for a local retailer that most likely purchased the same 5 dollar part and marked it up

I also like WD Music. I use the UK branch and they can get me rarer stuff from the US.
Where else could I get fancy Gibson S-1 pickguards ??? (to give an example)

I've been buying a custom wire harnesses with cts pots, switchcraft components from 'Dragonfire guitars'. They sell a sparse selection of hardware. I've also been using their pickups.
There is also the 'Guitarfetish store' or GFS. I've been buying tuners, bone nuts mostly. but they have a good selection of parts.
and I've made a few bridges on the mill with some of our scrap brass.

I'll usually try a local guitar shop first, then Mojotone.
I rarely need parts, though, so nobody is having steak for dinner due to my purchases.
