Yes, you're "terrible"! LOL. Honestly, there is no way to have a right answer on this one. The number of good, reputable breeders today is staggering! Each person will have their list of breeders that they've had success with, and if you compare each on there will be tons of differences. It would be easier to list breeders to avoid, honestly! But there's no need to do that here, the BOI is a good place to start with that (it's not perfect, but it's better than nothing).
The same goes for the rack systems. There are so many good manufacturers to choose from today! If money is no object, choosing ARS or Freedom Breeder would be a great way to go. If money is, but you still need good quality, Animal Plastics is pretty awesome. They have great customer support and a simple, well built, long lasting product. One of the better racks for the money.
