I see a lot of you guys like Premium Aquatics. Why? price ? I can't find any discounts from them to Reef Central. Do they give free shipping ? I didn't see that ether.

I don't think you can or should buy it all at one place. You're not doing yourself any favors that way.
I would also suggest you should give your LFS some of that business (supposing you have one that is). Support them if they are good.
I figure if their price is within 10-15% of what I can get it for online then I give them the business. Heck, between shipping charges and instant gratification....it's worth a few extra bucks to keep them around! :-)
