I almost never use the same place twice. I have never used B&H because I'm going for the absolute lowest price from some place that a feel reasonably comfortable is actually going to send the lens (and not give a hard sell for insurance, filters, or some other thing they've made up) after they receive my money. There are a LOT of shady camera companies set up out there, but if you look at feedback ratings and reviews, you will pretty quickly figure out which feedbacks are made up and which ones are real, and what company's actually sell what they say. I've had very good luck, and have saved HUNDREDS over other online stores.

I use
www.froogle.com
www.dealtime.com
www.mysimon.com
www.nextag.com
www.pricegrabber.com

and even:

www.ebay.com

I've had good luck buying on ebay, too. Just the usual 'read the desciption clearly, look at the seller's feedback' caveats.

AND DON'T FORGET:
Look at what you're being charged for both TAX and SHIPPING and add that into the cost. Those shopping websites I listed above have the option of computing your final cost based on your zip code (they know wether you'll be charged tax or not)... and of course on ebay, watch those shipping charges. Just last week I saw a $1.00 item with a $79 shipping charge!
