I have had the best luck long term with frags rather then colonies and I would highly recommend going through Eric at fragfarmer.com or Atlantis for the good stuff.

LiveAquaria.com has been great for me. The frags are larger than most others but so is the price by a bit. You get either a 14 or 30 day guarantee depending on which frag you buy.

The frags are very healthy.

I second LiveAquaria. Check out thier ORA selection. The frags are mini colonies and are usually multi branched and over 3 inches tall and encrusted. They also package and ship extreamly well too!

Just started LA myself. Been having bad luck at RM lately and success has been dismal 25% with RM. Too early to give opinion on LA.

I second Eric @ Frag Farmer. Never used LA or RM, but have heard good about both.
RM has possibly the best packing/shipping.
LA has some large frags.(I have heard of the ORA frags lightening up though. But that is just what i've read.)

Extreme Corals DOT com is a good one. Reefermadness.us has nice stuff, just beware it probably won't look the same as in the pictures (big time lighting there).

Reefer Madness, DFS Live Aquaria, Frag Farmer, Pacific East Aquaculture...I have ordered from all of these vendors, and would recommend them. Mostly frags and cultured colonies.
