Cant you just buy directly though the UK licensors? You wont be able to get any products that they haven't licensed in region B unless you buy from down here, which we've already established costs an arm and a leg (or Japan, but not a whole lot of point to that lol).
As Ive said before, its easier and cheaper in the long run to get your hands on a BD player that can be made region free, then you can buy from anywhere. Might I reccomend the Toshiba BDX3200 (I know you can get them on Amazon UK). Making them region free is easy, just a matter of swapping the installed firmware for the Australian version, which is easy to find online.
Anyways, favorite distributor eh...
Domestically its easy, since I only have two options to choose from. Siren beats Madman despite the latter being the power in these waters for two reasons. One is that I HATE the horrible brick packaging that Madman uses/used to use. Horrible looking stuff, plastered in logo's (I know that's a legislative requirement but still...) and really unpleasant to look at. Second, Siren have both Angel Beats and Higurashi Kai, where as Madman rarely pick up my favorites.
Oversea's is tougher since they all have their pro's and con's. Funi probably get's the overall victory since they still understand that not everything has to be moved out the door as cheap and low grade as possible, plus they have lots of titles I like. NISA gets an honorable mention, since ToraDora fiasco aside they put out some pretty nice products, same goes for Nozomi.

Elfen Lied, Darker Than Black, Angel Beats!, and Death Note are quite good; I have yet to see Steins;Gate, though. Time travel hurts my brain.
I see no Wolf's Rain so far, so I would recommend that. Also, Claymore is a pretty good show, as well as Soul Eater, but both have pretty silly / unfufilling endings.
Blue Exorcist (or Ao no Exorcist), for the bored who have seen everything on this thread. It's an unoriginal shônen anime. I rate it about a 7 or lower. =/
EDIT: Blue Exorcist's other name was censored.

I have no clue why Elfen Lied's title is German ("Elvish Song" ), but I'm pretty sure it's still Japanese. The title song, Lilium, is in Latin with a bit of Greek ("Kyrie, ignis divine, eleison" ), and the ending is J-pop.
Other than that, I have no clue if German makes animated TV shows like Japan does. O_o
As for the term "anime," Japan uses the word to refer to any form of animation. The U.S word has become specifically Japan's animation.
