I need to order some 200 series fittings.for my Teflon braided lines. What difference if any, is there between Earls and Speedflow fittings and where is the best (and cheapest) place to buy them from??

No difference in quality, but i order a mixture of brands of AN fittings from Summit Racing, too expensive to buy in Oz.

Speedflow are Australian, so no point going to Summit for them.

I can't speak of Earls but have found the cheaper type more susceptible to galling. I've had the issue with a few fittings. No issue with Speedflow.
I've also found the better braided hose holds together well when cut were the cheaper braid unravels a bit and is slightly harder to fit on the hose end.

You pay for Earls but it is quality. Whenever cutting the stainless teflon hose, wrap a bit of tape around where you want to cut the hose, then cut thru the middle of the tape.........
