All great service but delivery charges are something to watch as they all differ,

Geterbrewed always end up being £10-£15 cheaper than anywhere else on an order of £50+ so they are my go to, especially now they’ve sacked Parcelfarce off in favour of DPD.
For one off purchases (hops I can’t get elsewhere, or cheap yeast) I usually used CrossMyLoof.

Same for me. I really like the Malt Miller, but Geterbrewed are really unbeatable for my needs.
Brewstore, Brew2Bottle and Malt Miller have been great during lockdown.
I would avoid BrewUK unless you are happy to wait a month from order to delivery and don't mind your items being substituted.
EDIT: I feel like I should say that my comment on BrewUK only applied during lockdown. In the past couple of years, to their credit, they've been great.

Malt Miller, geterbrewed & crossmyloof for hops. Also had a good service from Brew Keg Tap when I purchased Robobrew and kegs.

Geterbrewed are generally cheaper on a lot of stuff like malt for instance, you can order whetever quantity of malt or hops you need. They do a great custom recipe so you can order exactly what you need without waste. Their prices tend to offset the delivery charge and as said now they use DPD and I have found them to be a good courier.
Malt Miller, very good to use, quick turnaround and delivery so far has been within 48 hours.

It often depends on what you want, the value of your order, and how much they charge for P&P.
Some suppliers are best at grain with a range to match, some carry a good range of cheap kits but with little grain to offer, some may just specialise in one type of equipment, some may offer free P&P or have a range of prices according to order value.
So there is not a one size fits all.
And at the moment suppliers have a restricted range for some products although that will will get better.
I would have recommended the Homebrew Company without hesitation, but since Covid-19 appeared they have rewarded their loyal customers by upping their prices, and removing their free delivery charge and raising the charge. I suppose that's understandable, but others haven't done that.
Otherwise I have used The Homebrew Shop, Balliihoo, Brew2Bottle, and Stonehelm Homebrew. Latter is a small one man band outfit run by a very helpful and friendly person.

If you order before midday with MM you will get next day DPD delivery.
Didn't know this. Fantastic news. I'll order from them next. I've ordered from them in the past and they really are the best priced, even with the delivery cost. Their hop range is pretty good. There's a few they're missing that I wouldn't mind seeing. However you can generally find something to substitute a hop you need for a recipe. Their custom recipe creator is really useful. You can order exactly what you need for a recipe and they'll pack all the grain into one bag.
I used BKT for the first time based in the above feedback and MM didn't have what I was looking for in stock. Ordered yesterday morning and it arrived this morning. Top class! I'll be using them again!

Malt Miller are expensive and still not fully back up to speed from covid I dont think.
Have used GEB loads for grain. CML for yeast and hops, specially for odds and sods since it's free delivery.
Have also used KegThat for a wort chiller which was good kit with excellent service and Ben is always available on here too.
So aye, GEB are my most common but will have no qualms about sending a recipe to Ben once I get round to it since he said he would be willing to do that.

I have order twice from the malt miller since lockdown the first one, near the start of lockdown' took 48 hours the second one about a month ago took 24 hours so not sure about your comment they are not back up to speed.
