Just looking for opinions on what breeders have the best seeds?

Yea 9 years but a lot of my stuff seems to have been deleted, I was gone for a long time and decided to come back...
I have only ordered from the single seed centre , they have like 150 breeders and hard to choose only a couple. So far I have bought from Cali connection,
Barneys farm, greenhouse seeds and they were pretty good, but looking for new stuff and can't seem to nail it down.
I've tended to favor the "old school" breeders. Sensi Seeds (forum sponsor), Serious Seeds, Dutch Passion, others along those lines. They've been doing it for decades.
A lot of people have bad things to say about Greenhouse Seed Co. and Barney's Farm. <SHRUGS> Use your own judgment there, I suppose.
Mr. Nice seems to have a lot of fans. I've grown Neville's Haze - and found a few long-term keepers that were outstanding - but IDK if that one is currently available. If so, it might not be the same that I've grown, because that was years ago.
I have read that a lot of West Coast (United States) breeders, err, farm out their work. But I have no personal knowledge one way or the other.
I'm not a big fan of breeders that mostly just buy seed packs of a couple different strains (from other breeders), cross them, and sell the resulting seeds. But that is nothing knew - AfaIK, Mal (Nirvana Seeds) has been doing it for years. I suppose if you can only swing $25 or $30 for a pack of seeds instead of $172, though, and CBA to just wait until you've saved up more money, then a "discount breeder" might be your only option. And such breeders still manage to produce okay strains, I guess.
But I doubt that a breeder that takes a seed from Breeder A, a seed from Breeder B, grows out both and crosses the two, and then sells the progeny... ever offers to give a percentage of those seeds' gross sales to Breeder A or Breeder B. I cannot think of any other industry where that sh!t is tolerated. For that matter, I've found it to be exceedingly rare for a breeder to even state "The parents came from Breeder A and Breeder B" anywhere in his advertisements or seed descriptions. That's dirty pool.
I am really not a fan of breeders that only sell feminized seeds. I might grow them once in a while (my Kali Mist is feminized - but my Jack Herer is regular), but I don't ever want to have that choice thing taken away. And there are other reasons. Not least of which... occasionally, a person actually wants a male cannabis plant. So that's another knock against Greenhouse in my book (again, YMMV).
I used to grow a good bit, but I stopped selling cannabis a long time ago. And later I quit growing completely for a while (and am just getting back into it). I used to like growing landrace sativas, even though they could be... interesting to grow. I've been known to do a little crossing (I used to feel that this was the only use for an indica... now that I - and my family/friends - am older, I can see the appeal of a narcotic). F₁ seeds were good because of their hybrid vigor and (to a lesser extent) because I could get different phenotypes. But a classic IBL - like Serious Seeds' Bubble Gum (which I seem to recall as having slightly more sativa in it than the average "bubblegum") was great, too.
Basically... I'm just rambling .
I'm thinking if I ever order seeds again, it will be Serious Seeds. The original Bubblegum and AK47 are on my extremely short list.
