I buy from clearbags.ca because they have many varieties of sizes which can be ordered in any quantity, though they offer savings for economy of scale. I normally get 3mm (note this is overall thickness) 5x8 (thicknesses are in mm, dimensions in inches) for Deluxes, and 3mm 6x9's for my Voyagers - these sizes will fit 90% of those size classes. I use 3mm 2x3, 3x3 and 3x4 for accessories. I have experimented with 2mm for the much larger bags (Leader class) to save cost on them, and have noted that sharp corners will mark the bags, but I have yet to notice any pierced bags. Note that you want the Crystal Clear bags, as they are polypropylene; they make bags out of other materials as well. Having been contacted once by their staff about a particular baggy size being out of stock and contacted them once to ask questions, I can say that they have very good customer service. Links to their PP bags below for your convenience (note it doesn't say polypropylene in the description, but they are in fact PP:

When you are at cons, digging through bins of baggies, they always just feel brutal somehow
I love bin-diving at cons, and yeah it hurts to see all those toys at risk when a $0.15 investment can forever protect a $10.00 toy. It's very reasonable to ask the seller if you can open the baggy and inspect, just make sure you explain why, so they don't think you're looking to steal parts.
