Depends on what I'm doing with the parts.
If it's non-consumable mission critical parts I always buy top quality that meets or exceeds OE parts. I don't buy lower tier engine parts because a failure can costs many times more than the savings. Plus, often those parts don't fit properly. With name brand that never seems to be an issue
When shopping for these parts I like to use Rock Auto's parts catalog. I think they have the most user-friendly interface. Once I have the part numbers, I'll shop them against Amazon, Summit and Jeg's. Many times, I've found to cheaper than other outlets. Especially if my cart doesn't meet the free shipping threshold. It's hit or miss though.

Listed Autozone for info only. I never shop there. Just not a fan of the brands they carry.
For Oil and Air Filters I like O'Rielly's. They carry WIX which is my go-to filter brand. Plus, there's a location aboout 1/4 mile or so from my house.
For fluids like oil and such you can't beat Walmart.
