I'm branching out I think. I totally dig my addi turbo circs, and the length I have isn't long enough to do magic loop, which I think I've done ok on. I'm making a sleeping cap for my cousin and will def need double points unless I find a really long circ to work with. My eyes are on ebay. Where else do you guys get your needles online? And since I like the addi turbos so much, which brand dpn do you think I'll like?

I use magic loop exclusively instead of double-pointed needles, for everything from socks to hats to sleeves in the round. I have the Knitpicks Options set of interchangeable needles and cables, and I also ordered a couple of 47" cables for magic loop. I LOVE them! I've heard good things about knitpicks double pointed needles also. They have beautiful, colorful wood ones, or nickle-plated steel, which is what the Options are made of. They're also quite reasonably priced.

I LOVE my knitpicks needles! I have the wood interchangeable set and bought extra cables for magic loop. I haven't tried their DPN's yet but I think the wood is the same as my circs.

I like Brittany wooden dpns. I have one pair of straight (not dpn) Knit Picks Harmony wood needles and I really, really like them. Any new dpns I may need I plan to get in the Knit Picks wood. The yarn moves along smoothly, they feel good in my hands, etc.
I also use magic loop for most things. There are some things though that I've found I just prefer dpns for. Like working the cuff on a sweater. I don't know why that seems better on dpns for me. But when I made Mini-Mittens (ornaments out of sock yarn) at Christmas, I used magic loop only. The one mitten I made w/ dpns was loose and looked terrible.
