IMHO, the amount of wire I want would influence where I bought it. For only a few feet I would go to a local Custom Automotive Electrical Shop.

Go ask any electrician that does control wiring. Ask for left over spools of MTW. They will probably sell them for slightly more than scrap price. They will have spools varying from a few feet to 50'+ that are too short for them to use.
MTW is finely stranded and has fairly thick insulation. It's excellent for automotive wiring.
