You can Google them and ask for free samples of their systems.
What are you using now?
Do you have an ileostomy or colostomy? And why?

This site was a true lifeline when I first became a member back in 1997. The support I received during the time of a critical time in my life.was greatly needed. I met so many wonderful people that became like family. And fell in love with a wonderful woman from the UK. Visited here and later had her come to me here in the states.

I use Byram, they have a distribution center in New Jersey . They have a quick turnaround time for your order, been using them for 2 years and no problems.

I use Better Health.
They call and remind me to order, have a peer support person to talk to, supplies are always correct and get to my home within 3 days.

Like Warrior said, definitely get some samples to try things out. As for where to order your main supplies once you determine what you prefer, there's a lot of them. I use Edgepark but that's only because my options with insurance are pretty limited. Medical Monks is a great site too.
