So far, I love A Closer Look - fantastic restaurants - yesterday I did a $120 lunch for them at one of my favorite restaurants in my city. They pay quick and have awesome feedback and fab schedulers.
Clear Evaluations, followed verrrry closely by Instant Replays.

Shoptilyoudrop - Corporate Research is one of my many favorites. They have a lot of highly bonused shops late in the month. Don't be put off by the low fees offered when the shops are newly posted. The fees will increase as the month progresses. Some of the $3 shops will turn into +$20. It's definitely worth watching and waiting. Take all the training ahead of time so when the shop comes up at the right price you'll be ready.

It's so hard to pick just one. When choosing to work for a company, I like to look at how long they have been around, if they pay on time, if the schedulers are professional and helpful when I need them in addition to what kinds of shops they offer.
I am new to MS but I like BestMark so far pays quick and reports are fairly easy.
Every MSP who is hassle-free, responds when needed, and pays on time.
The one that pays the quickest, has a sensible amount of work for pay, has jobs within my radius, and jobs I enjoy doing...that should do it. These types of questions are subjective, and need to work for you, some posters love certain MSC's, which I won't work for, and visa versa.
Live consciously....
I love old adages, because they ring so true in life; my favorite is "To each his/her own." This was, of course, paraphrased from the original to reflect equality. This thread is guaranteed to test those words, as there will be radically different viewpoints, with each being reflective of the opinions of the poster. As to mine, I don't have a favorite, rather a class of MSCs that pay commensurate with the work and that communicate with me should I have a need for assistance; that's all I require.
I agree with Wales that both Clear Evaluations and Instant-Replay fit into my category of favorites. With respect to video, I would add EPMS and Training Factor X.

Summit Scheduling and Caliber - simply the best.
I don't have a favorite really as there are so many good ones, but I do notice the same thing about CoRI. $3.00 for weeks and then BAMMO! $27 for the same shop overnight. And it's an easy shop and they pay straight away.

SQM is my favorite MSC. Their assignments are interesting, they pay on time, and the staff is professional and easy to get a hold of if you have any questions or problems.
Depends on where you live. I have several favorites, but I particularly like Customer Perspectives, ICU and Informa. A Closer Look is also a great MSC. ICCDS is another easy company to work with.
Sorry; that was more than one! If I had to pick one, it would be a toss up between A Closer Look and Customer Perspectives, but one is mostly fine dining and hotels; the other is for income only.
Cori also gets my vote. I never have to take a $3.00 shop as they always get bonused in my area.
I'm putting CORI up there too. I've only made about $116 from them this month, but then again I've only done 4 jobs for them

Never try to teach a pig to sing. It's a waste of your time and it really annoys the pig.

I like Market Force because they actually pay every month!
The shops are easy and very plentiful...
I also like ICCDS and Second to None.
Sinclair is tops!
Insula Research is incredible...the scheduler...the pay...

" I think there's a nap for that."
@cubbiecat I have to agree with you, Mintel is a great company. I shop for their London office but not as a mystery shopper. Their fees are fair for the amount of work required and they pay like clockwork. Every MSC should take lessons from Mintel.
