What's your general opinion of the following publishers? Do you prefer one over the others (for a particular type of resource)? Do you perceive an overall difference between them in terms of ELT pedagogy?
Personally, my preference is for Cambridge and Macmillan and not just because they have N.A. English resources--I just find the style of their resources more suitable to the way I teach. I've taught from several Longman coursebooks--even worked at a Longman School (Beijing) but I feel their kids books leave a lot to be desired (I'll elaborate if anyone's interested). Recently, I was surprised to learn that Macmillan has over 50 titles for young learners alone--Cambridge, not even one.
In case anyone's interested, here are their online catalogs. If I've missed a publisher you think deserves mention, add a link as well, please.
