I just have to throw my two cents in. All of the sellers mentioned are good people/businesses. My first flask was from Hausermann's and I was completely satisfied. BUT, had I understood what I was getting, I may have made a different choice.
Most/all of the flasks from Hausermann's are mericlones. Same with Carmella's flasks and plug trays. Every one is completely identical. No wondering, no surprises, no potential for awards, no variety. Your 30+ clones would be the same exact plant as the thousands of others out there.
On the other hand, a flask of seedlings is like a litter of puppies. Each will be slightly different. Some may grow up to win an award, or may have some new variation that is just cool and different. Seeing the differences when they bloom out is part of the fun. Each individual will be completely one-of-a-kind and you'll be the only one growing it.
I'll never talk down to anyone who opts for a flask of clones - I did the same thing. But if I have convinced you, check out these sellers:
