I personally use my LDS, because I have known them LOOOOOOOOOOOONG before there was online shopping and have a personal relationship with them. Nothing against online services at all, I do shop online for various things.
I also am a big guy, 6'-4", 230lb.+ so fit is often an issue and being able to go to them and try stuff on is a big plus. I wouldn't feel right just using them for a "fitting room" and then going online an ordering the same product. Price is of course an issue, but they have always been good about having fair prices and even giving discounts to keep your business, I'd rather give my money to someone I know.
LDS's seem to be suffering nowdays, I know mine's business is really slow and they have been around for something like 20 years or more. I'd hate to see them close, a lot of folks depend on them for tank rentals & maintenance and the Dallas/Ft. Worth area is so spread out, it's nice not to have to drive an hour just to have to rent a tank.
