Most efficient per dollar often comes down to the shipping price these days. Free shipping specials are your friend. You may also have places you can pick up from which can be worth while even if paying a little more per watt.

For example you can find say a 190 panel for a great deal $133 or 70 cents per watt. But it has a $75 dollar shipping charge so now you are really paying $208 or $109 per watt shipped.
A local guy probably won't have any panels for 70 cents a watt but he may have them for 90 or 95 cents, and no shipping.
In that case the most efficient power per dollar is actually the higher price per watt local guy because shipping big panels is expensive.
Same thing with free shipping deals. Might be better off paying 80 cents a watt but getting in on the occasional free shipping deal than going with a place who has 70cents per watt panels.
