@Brennan Guiles this really depends on what you are looking for and purchasing.  If you are investing in real estate, having a lender that is an actual investor and has worked with thousands of investors is going to a big benefit.  To many people focus on rate, rate, rate, I am not worried about someone shopping me because I am a mortgage broker and we typically have the best rates or close to it.  Find a lender that can do it all when it comes to working with buyers, has a team so someone is always available, can close on time, can fix problems quickly when they come up, has the experience to coach you through a deal, has lots of products/lenders to offer and the list goes on.  Having a great team around you made up of great loan officer, agent, insurance, title, escrow, property inspector, contractor, etc his the most important when purchasing which is most peoples biggest asset.  Rates, escrow waivers, how long yo can lock, these are all the simple things that any lender can help you with.  Having a track record, experience and the knowledge is much more valuable.  

Hope this helps!
