Welcome to the Quilting Board!
I have bought flannel from Fabric.com several times. I have been really pleased with the quality of the flannel. Very little pilling and shrinkage. I made several rag quilts from their flannel and they are holding up really nicely. I used cheaper flannel from a walk-in store and was so disappointed with the quality. It faded and pilled badly.

I have purchased a lot of flannel and my favorite company is moda. There marble flannel is over the top. I have purchased from Hancocks and there's is good too. Usually is the price is to good to be true, the fabric is no to good.
I have also purchased from www.fabric.com and was pleased. Sometimes they lack quanity if your looking for a large amount. I love the heavy white, I made a design wall with it.
Some online quilt shops are willing to send you small swatches of fabrics you are interested in. They usually limit the number you may request or charge a small fee, but if you're needing a large quantity, I think it's worthwhile.

I have used quilt back flannel from Thousands of Bolts and have been pleased with it for backs.
What I know most about flannels--any flannels, is to order more than you need--and definitely pre-wash!
