As asked I don't think a sensible answer is possible.

What do you mean by best?  What outcome are you after?    How would mail
order seeds be restricted by quarantine regulations where you live?

The one that has the variety you want and viable seed?

I ended up buying tomatoes seed from one outfit, beans from another,
peppers from a 3d, a squash from ebay, and a few seeds from the local
garden center.

In the past I've done fine with what the garden center offered.

Your UK mileage might vary.

The questions posed in the other responses are good.

I will add that I have enjoyed the results from seeds I've purchased
from:

http://www.seedsofchange.com/
http://www.territorialseed.com/
http://www.johnnyseeds.com/
http://www.southernexposure.com/
http://www.prairiemoon.com/   (not sure if they have veggie seeds, but
excellent wildflower seed source)

Let me also introduce you to:

http://davesgarden.com/products/gwd/

It's a fabulous resource for people who do mail order.

Have fun!

    It's the one that sells what you want at prices you're willing to pay with
service you find pleasing.
    As long as we're naming favorites, I've been pleased for many years with
"Thompson & Morgan", a U.K. breeder/seller with an efficient North American
distribution center. T&M has two separate web sites for U.K.-Europe and North
America, respectively. T&M is my _only_ source for "Delinel" filet beans because
they are really real "French" beans -- seeds grown in France and packed in U.K.
In U.S.A. many small-time operators on the web are reselling T&M seeds but one
must ask the direct question in order to find out. My current "favorite" for a
wide selection of "heirloom" and organic veggie varieties that interest me is
"Sustainable Seed Co.", suggested to me by another newsgroupie, and on the web
at <http://sustainableseedco.com/home.php> .
    My present "never-again" or "cold day in hell" list consists only of "Baker
Creek Heirloom Seeds", on the web at <http://rareseeds.com/> . I can't fault the
products but their customer service and certain of their business practices are
not my cup of tea; YMMV.
