AEG and Mongoose Publishing also have very impressive product lines. If one of those three has a new book out, I'm very likely to buy it on spec, whereas I'll normally scan through stuff from other publishers for 15 minutes or so before I decide to buy it.
OGC is very important to me, as is the ability to use stuff outside of the publisher's prefered setting.
My favorites are like yours. The Fantasy Flight books are just outstanding- they are also attractive and useful and .. modular. Like you can get the book and just use a trap here, a race there, and a spell over there.. they don't assume you are going to use the whole book. (Which is nearly impossible when you get the book halfway through the campaign anyway).
The Bastion Press books are awesome as well. I think they are my favorites. At first I was a bit put off by the artwork (which I didn't like at first). But then after a while I started to really like the artwork. And I love Oathbound. The weapons book is outstanding. The monsters book is solid. Bastion Press is top shelf.
Green Ronin is outstanding in this way as well- especially the monsters books (Legions of Hell, Armies of the Abyss). I also love Mutants and Masterminds.
And I like the Wizards of the Coast books as well. My two favorites are Manual of the Planes and Savage Species.
I like to see as much OGC as possible--partially because it will be nice to see all of this stuff eventually end up as free modules for PCgen.
For the D&D campaign setting I'm working on, we're looking to have at least 40% as original OGC content, about 15% recycled (that is, someone else's content that has been released under the OGL), and the remainder closed. We'll be putting out our own little SRD like thing containing all our OGC content for anyone who wants to publish their own works in our setting.
I live in Laurel, MD. Hopefully you know where it is. Technically, I live off Rt. 197, which is off the BW parkway. Hopefully that helps ^^;
