When I was looking about a year ago, I found Micromatic.com to be my cheapest option including shipping. Check them out. Midwestsupplies.com as well.

Broken Robot Brewing Co.
Superior Products has a good price on Perlick F/S faucets.
Forward seal is the only way to go. No sticky faucets in this fridge.
I bought my shanks at Austin Homebrew.

yeah i wanted to get this thing rolling as cheap as possible. I will grab another perlick later but for now I didn't want to spend the 30 bucks.
I have one ventmatic and a brass standard faucet as well as this one that I have just bought.
I will be installing them into my fridge on the weekend.

I searched pretty good, and found Rapids to be about the best price overall to get my kegerator set up.
I think with most places, the prices for each item will vary. For example, the shanks might be cheaper at one place, but the faucets more expensive, etc.
But, overall I think Rapids offered the best price, though I didn't look too much into forward sealing faucets.

They have nipple shanks really cheap, too. 3" for ~$12. 4" for ~$13.

I also agree with Superior. All my Perlicks and shanks have come from there. Great prices and fast shipping.

Might look at http://soda-dispensers.com/ for beer parts & soda fountain dispensing parts.

there is a good deal on morebeer http://morebeer.com/view_product/16265/102244/Faucet_Knob_And_Shank_Combo
This is a good size shank for going thru a fridge door or wall.
Or if you really want to save money you could use a cheap picnic tap.

Austin Homebrew is a good vendor as is Birdman Brewing (http://www.birdmanbrewing.com/perlick-575ss-all-stainless-faucet-shank-combo-kit/). Both are registered HBT vendors which I try to support.
Compare shipping costs and they may end up close.
thanx, w/ shipping birdman is $9 cheaper.
beveragefactory.com was running a special, i can't find the link, but 525SS + shank for $25, hopefully they're still offering the deal. I got 8 of 'em. thebeertapstore.com on ebay has the same set going for $65 shipped.

I believe that was a mistake that they quickly pulled after the influx of orders. It was well below cost.
We do have very competitive pricing on these items, and we greatly appreciate you considering us as an HBT vendor!
