Hi Thom, we have missed you too!!
Best places are the two above (they're good for non-specific Porsche parts and in particular electrics/lighting etc) - ie: they will defo be the best place for a new alternator but won't be able to help if you're after a genuine 993 GT2 spoiler.
The best other place I've found recently is Jasmine Motorsport (01282 697171) - Brian is very friendly and has some good parts and can source most other things you're after. If you say that Dave Scott pointed you in his direction he'll happily add 10% to your bill
Also used Type 911 (Matt I think) - he's also bery friendly and provided excellent service.
Please don't use Design 911 - He'll offer the best prices I'm sure but is a c**t and if you're ever after any sort of after sales service you can whistle.
If you look on Design 911's website and quote the prices Brian at Jasmine will usually match them - but won't insult/be rude.
Note for all of us: Worth mentioning PH to whoever you buy from - the more 'buyer power' we can generate the better prices and service for all of us in the future!!!
Have had very good service from
www.berlyn-services.co.uk.
For routine stuff German and Swedish offer decent prices, but their range isn't fantastic.
If you are after second hand stuff, I can recommend
www.porsch-apart.co.uk

Another one I've used, that I've just remembered the address of:
www.gsfcarparts.com/
(It's the website of German French & swedich Basil posted while I was typing
)
They have depots in a lot of towns in the UK

I don't have the names at hand, but if you look in the back of Porsche Post or Porsche World there are loads.
I've been using Specialist Cars (I think thats the name) - nothing but excellent friendly (and speedy) service. Well recommended.
