Faberdashery is the best quality filament but doesn't come on reels - although apparently they will be doing soon. It's about £22-£28 per 100 meters. a 1Kg reel should be about 330m

cd-writer.com is okay as a draft filament but is not as sticky - which means there's issues making it stick to the bed and on bigger prints it seems to separate between the layers. That's £23/kg so approximately 1/3 the price of Faberdashery.

Colorfabb is a new kid on the block and is apparently better than cd-writer.com but shipping takes it up close to Faberdashery price - bonus reel though.

AVOID RepRapWorld like the plague - I ended up throwing away 4Kg of filament because it was useless.

RepRapSource is probably the same stuff as cd-writer.com and closer to the price of faberdashery.
