Where to purchase irrigation supplies

About to undertake my irrigation installation job in a couple/few weekends. I'm looking for opinions or where people would recommend buying the parts from. Box stores, online (which site), local store, site one?

Just wanted to get a quick take on if there's a preference. Thanks everyone!

As crazy as this sounds, Siteone just built a proposal 15% cheaper or so then the websites listed above. If you have one close, give them a shot as well. (They even did my design work for free too)
That sounds great but just the i20s that I was looking for were $45 at siteone and 18.xx at sprinklersupply. This could just be my experience but the shortage of rotors is really encouraging people to sell at MSRP.

@Justin9314, I had the opposite experience at SiteOne. Maybe it's a local vendor or management thing. My SiteOne sells fertilizer, pesticides, herbicides, tools, etc. at very fair prices. But walk back to the irrigation counter and it's Gouge City. I saved at least 300% by ordering my MP Rotators and accessories on line. The SiteOne irrigation prices were so insulting, I'll never do business with them again.

I do have a siteone semi-nearby. About 15 minutes away. I'll start putting my list together on sprinklersupply and print it out to bring to the siteone that close by to see what they offer for both service and price on parts. Thank you all for the tidbits on where to go. I'm not sure of the local places around. I have one in mind that I could stop at that carries a butt ton of random things that's right in town. I'll have to see if they carry anything for sprinkler supply parts also.

Site one has tiered pricing. If you open an account online you'll get retail pricing. If you open an account at the local branch you will get a better discount. I opened mine online and then they adjusted my account at the branch after I asked about the price of a hunter pnj rotor and once I was quoted the price I told the guy I would go to Ewing and pay half of that.

I tended to bounce around between Ewing, Site One and the big box stores.
