As a long arm quilter, I do provide wool at a discount, I prefer customers to bring their own, then they have what they want. I imagine we are all quite different about that as well. I will agree though, if you are taking your quilt to a long arm quilter who provides batting, check it out.

If the price for quilting includes batting I always ask for a sample of the batting being used. My favorite is wool or silk. For quilts that will be used and washed a lot I use Warm and Natural.
