You looking for green beans to roast yourself or already roasted? I'm going to assume already roasted.
Right now I've been ordering from Crema.co; I actually started another thread here about it: http://www.botl.org/threads/crema-co.84802/
In terms of regions I appreciate all of them. Variety is the spice of life!

Brand new bag of Ethiopian Yirgacheff from a local roaster here, in Mobile, AL this morning that is fantastic.
Personally, I like single-origin coffees, my favorites being Guatemalan Huehuetenango, Ethiopian Yirgacheff and Kenyan AA. Bienville Blend from Carpe Diem Roasters and Stereo Blend from Heart Roasters are both great, too. Could talk coffee all day, though, so I'll leave it there.

Cameroon,Flores,Congo,and Yunnan,China.........
Really,though,I have gotten good beans from about everywhere except India.
Malabar,Mysore,and others taste like garbage to me.except for the ones that are reminiscent of dirty diapers...............
I only roast my own,so if you are looking for green beans,Burmans,Sweet Marias,Bodhi Leaf,and Gen X. For already roasted,
"Killer Beans" has some interesting items,and check out their Cocoa mix called BIG TUBA,with ginger,hot pepper,and I forget what else,really excellent cocoa..........

I don't think I could ever narrow it down to favorite region, I like it all. I usually order from local roasters. I generally order from http://www.cartelcoffeelab.com/store/ or http://www.oldbisbeeroasters.com/Default.asp. Cartel has a few shops in Phoenix and Tucson, Old Bisbee is just a guy in a shop with a roaster. I prefer medium to light roasts, I think they are far more flavorful than the darker roasts.
