I don't find any one shop in the lower mainland the 'best' for pricing. Stevensons yes, can be more expensive, quite often, but catch a sale and you can save some pretty decent coin from others. If you are in the stevensons harbor area in richmond, its a pleasure (and costly) to swing into the 'Big 3', Nitka, PNT, and Stevenson. I find hoochies cheaper at one, and spoons cheaper at another ect ect. I'm sure all will price match.
Sea Run Fly n Tackle is a great little shop thats been helpful in custom needs of mine.
Army and Navy and Wholesale are hit or miss. I find A&N is where I end up shopping nearly all the time if its between the two. Nothing really beyond your usual shimano rapala berkley products. I'd look in Nitka for some of your higher end rods, there selection is pretty great.
