RPGNow primarily, but I'll pick up the occasional pdf from Drivethrurpg.
PDFs - where do you buy yours?

I buy from RPGNow and DTRPG. My preference is RPGNow: while DTRPG's watermarking doesn't bother me, the inability to chop and change the PDF file does so I only buy from DTRPG when the product is not available from RPGNow.
I didn't vote because the poll only allows for a single answer.

DrivethruRPG mostly with RPGnow a close second.
THere have been times where I've bought PDF's directly from Green Ronin as well.

For me, it's been purchases from RPGNow, freebies from DTRPG, and although I've browsed through the ENGS I haven't made any purchases there. I tried to buy some stuff from Paizo, but got so frustrated with things not showing up in the cart that I quit in disgust.

So far, every PDF I have bought has been from RPGNow excepting one which I acquired from e23 (GURPS Ice Age).
I would have bought so very many more from DriveThru RPG, especially since they switched to watermarking for the products I care about, but they don't accept American Express and seem to have no interest in adding it to their choices.
Ergo, I just rip them off for their free products when something good comes up. The only PDFs that I own that were bought from DriveThru were purchased for me as a birthday present by a friend.

rpgnow most, followed closely by dtrpg then Paizo and ENGS, based on how much I have gotten. Considering E23 for GURPS things but I have not used them yet.
Paizo for old edition D&D stuff has caught my eye and monthly gaming budgets recently with their $4 price point old products. DTRPG has a bunch of good stuff not available anywhere else but I slightly prefer rpgnow non watermark pdfs for stuff available at both sites (though it is not a big deal to me).
Mostly it is a price issue for me of things I want. Paizo sells old D&D stuff for a $1 less than rpgnow so I buy them from Paizo, I got the EN critter books at a half off sale here at the ENGS and I load up at DTRPG when they do their holiday or malhavok sales. As long as the pdfs are not DRM which I will not buy/use, the watermark is only a minor issue, though if the prices are the same I will go with the companies that do not use watermarks.
