What makes it best?

I like Smashwords.com; they offer ebooks in about a dozen formats, so
they're usable on any ebook reading device. Booklocker only has PDFs,
and has no genre listings; while books have a category listed, I don't
see any site-wide listing of categories, or easy way to browse by
type. And individual book listings have no link back to the homepage,
which is just... bizarre. They also seem to lack a way to shop for
just ebooks, and not bother looking at anything that doesn't have an
electronic format.

Booklocker looks like it has some good points; I like DRM-free ebooks,
and their individual book listings are well-done. But I don't see any
features on the site that makes them better than Smashwords as an
ebook store.
