I haven't really played around with hydroponics but another veggie grower near me is almost exclusively on them. He gets the bulk of his supplies from growerssupply.com and from what I can tell he's been pretty happy with them. Fingers crossed we get some folks who can speak more to this part of your question for you!

For herb seeds, I've been really happy with what we've received from FedCo and Strictly Medicinal Seeds. FedCo has a nice selection particularly for the New England region of the US but Strictly Medicinal has absolute tons of awesome stuff that won't like it near me (but also bunches that will)
