My recommendation is get a LOT of different options on the table, and do your best to pick the most reputable dude, and do what he wants. The quality of the work matters way more than anything else.

This.
When someone brings up another quote with me that's lower I tell them good luck, I should hire that person to work for me if they do a good job, etc.
Most people will pay more for the company they will have no doubts about. I don't know how many jobs I've fixed that other guys jacked up that ended up costing the customer more than my original quote.
Happens more often than I'd like. Just go with the best option at the start instead of squeezing a nickel into a dime.
