I get most of my parts from my local O'Reilly's auto parts store, but have a friend who lets me use his commercial account privileges, so I get a much better price. On the fuel pump on my Suburban last fall, that saved me over a hundred dollars!
Some things I get from Rock Auto, but usually things I don't have to have right away, or things that I shouldn't have any warranty issues with.
For something important like brakes, chassis and engine parts, I prefer to go with the local parts store, even if it's a little more expensive than buying online. You're also more likely to get the right part the first time, and any warranty problems are lots easier to handle face to face. When I had a bad water pump on the same Burb several years ago, once I brought the defective part in, I got my credit back on its replacement.
When you go to get parts, having the VIN number is helpful. That has all the option codes in it, which is important on brakes because these trucks can be built in many configurations. Half ton pickup or Tahoe brakes are different type than a half ton Suburban, and everything is different than on my one ton crew cab....but if you have the correct information on your truck's options, then you should get the correct parts.
I would reserve LMC truck or any of those companies for body , interior and trim parts, but that's just me..... nothing wrong with them, but I grew up buying my parts from the parts store, even when it wasn't the one my Dad worked in and we bought later.

They either take the core or charge you a core charge/deposit if you don't have yours on-hand ATM, or at all.
If you're buying a "rebuilt" master cylinder, they're probably going to want the core, or they charge you for the price of the core.

If you're buying a "new" master, there should be no core charge, or core required.
