Both have marbled blenders at 108 inches for $5 a yard,
nixie chicks also has RJR printed backs for $8 a yard, fantastic quality. The marbled blenders are a little stiff, but they wash well. The RJR backs are beautiful and feel like silk.

I have used both of these, but mostly I just piece my backs.

I have gotten some 108 inch backing from Fabric.com that is Batik for $2.99/yard, just watch for specials or do a search on their web site, putting the price you want to pay in the seach box.

If you get these, be sure to buy extra!

I know this brand, and bought two bolts (from a different supplier, but it's the same fabric). They are wrapped so crookedly, that they're off by a foot, going from one edge to the other. You can't beat the price, but be advised that you should probably buy a half-yard to a yard beyond what you need, wash it, and then cut it!

I like Ann's Fabric and Crafts in NH. She has a nice choice and reasonable prices.

Keepsake Quilting has wide backs and a nice selection.

Also there is a copyrighted FatBacks and their website is http://www.christianlanequilters.com/home.html

I love using wide backs because I don't have to piece! ;-)
