Scott FTW!! 99% of my coral has come from NR. Less expensive, better quality with more variety. 90% have alive arrive coverage as well. Documented feedback, and folks who have bought from a member in the past will often pop in to tell you about growth and show you pics if you ask.
If you just MUST buy retail
liveaquaria

World Wide Coral = Awesome
Coralmorphology is good too. Depends on what you want really. If you are looking for specific something or other it never hurts to post a WTB in the classifieds.
Lots and Lots and Lots of places is the answer to your question. Poke around, if you find a place that has something you like ask around and see what others have to say about them. I wouldn't limit yourself to just a few people.
You want WYSIWYG if at all possible. You want to look at what lighting the photo's were taken in. If a company doesn't post that info, it may be a good seller to walk away from. Most reputable sellers want you to have an idea about ACTUAL color/size because they want you to fork over your reefing addiction dollars to them Do they have an arrive alive? If they do is for 2 hours after it gets to your house or a few days? What are the return/DOA policies...
The key is to not impulse buy on the intertubes, find something you like ask around, look other places THEN make a decision.

Davis7 here at NR!!! I've bought from him twice now and his zoa's are awesome! Also Lucidpropagation.com is another I've bought from with much success! Both of these sellers have great shipping prices and wonderful customer service. Yes, their corals are healthy and vibrant! I highly recommend them both. Good luck and have fun shopping!! Oh and all but 4 of the corals in my tank have come from these 2 guys.
I like local fish stores.
Almost everything I have I've gotten from NR members or Frag Swaps.
Here's a good one:
