GardenWeb sponsors one such poll each month. Folks who frequent
GardenWeb are invited to submit names of merchants for inclusion in a
particular poll (the new poll is on Best Mailorder Source for Carnivorous
Plants). Once voting begins on a particular poll, anyone who wishes to
participate rates each listed merchant with whom they are familiar on a
scale of 1-10, considering all aspects of the buyer/seller/product/order
relationship. Results of any vote conducted in this manner are going to
necessarily reflect both objective and subjective determinations on the
parts of the voters, and any such results must be interpreted within that
vague context. It's a fun poll from which one may be able to derive some
very general impressions, but it's hardly gospel.
