Hotels & rentals
The hotel and rental sites I actually book from - Hotels.com for rooms with free cancellation and VRBO when I want a whole home.
VRBO is the site I actually turn to when I need a whole home with a kitchen instead of a hotel room - I search there for vacation rentals, and it's the go-to I keep using when a trip is better with that kind of space.
Vrbo
Expedia is where I bundle flights and hotel rooms together when I want one booking that actually holds both - I check it for vacation package deals and member discounts, and it's the all-in-one I turn to when a trip is easier as one checkout.

Priceline is the hotel site I actually check when I want Express Deals - I use it for discounted hotel rooms with free cancellation, and it's the one I keep coming back to when I'm trying to get a cheaper rate on a stay I've already picked.

momondo is my second comparison engine when flights - I use it to compare flight prices across airlines and booking sites, and it's the one I keep coming back to when I want another angle on the cheapest flights before I book.
