Only 4 stores on Kent St sell gear - Mountain Equipment; Mountain Design; Trek & Travel & Paddy Pallin.
Having known a few friends at several of the various stores - Mountain Equipment is definitely the best regarded - Trek & Travel is owned by the same person; I don't know the details but essentially he sounds like a climbing philanthropist. Mountain Equipment hire staff based on climbing experience - not retail background.

That said if you know what you are looking for shop around because ME only stock certain brands.
From memory Mountain Design carry Mammut; Paddy Pallin have a small but diverse set of gear with Scarpa Shoes.. ME; MD; T&T & PP all stock Black Diamond trad gear.

Anaconda also sell some gear, no idea the brands or range. The staff will definitely know less than those on Kent St.
