They're all good. Gear is gear but my recommendation is either Cyclone Taylor Sports or The Hockey Shop (Surrey).
Reason being, I've never bought gear from general sports store like Sportcheck, Sportmart, or to an extent Canadian Tire but when I bought my starters in The Hockey Shop, you can get package deals for buying full gear; can't quote me but Cyclone Taylor MAY offer the same or similar cost negating methods.
However, I just came across this on Off-Topic:

Honourable Mention also to
Burrard Sports Exchange. They've got some good deals individually but I don't know if you'll get a special deal when buying in bulk (full gear). So you may have to factor if all those individual deals can outmatch the other store's package deal
That being said, looks like you've got some homework to do, and quite the running around. Good thing hockey shopping is fun though.
edit:
(here's a crude and brief overview of aformentioned stores)
Burrard Sports Exchange - Best prices for gear
Cyclone Taylor - Best service out of all stores (although no slight to The Hockey Shop; but I'd rank Cyclone a tad higher)
The Hockey Shop - Best selection out of all stores. Biggest store out of the 3, and nicest one too considering their new loc.
