Good question. I've gotten used to having Digikey as my go-to database of
components and prices, even if I also use Mouser and Farnell (element14)
just as much when actually buying random stuff for development or repairs.
All of them have their pros and cons when it comes to their search engines,
I can't really say either one is perfect.

I'm not sure if it's true, but I've often got the impression that Digikey
shows the most complete supply of components (I often want to know what
products exist, not only what products are in stock here or there) and also
at a price more similar to what you'd get in production - especially if you
enter 10000 or so in the quantity field. Being able to enter 10000 pieces
and then sort the components after 10000-prices gives a better indication
of the actual prices in production. Sorting on price for 1 pc (which is the
only way I've found at Mouser & Farnell) shows higher prices and can list
the products in another order since prices on small vs large quantities
isn't always consistent.
