    I certainly won't stop linking to the Citizens Advice comparison site because it's the least worst, defaulting to showing the widest market, if not the whole of the market.  You seem not to think it's worth using multiple sites, so which one would you recommend?  Your own, perhaps? 
    ...
    On what possible basis do you consider CA the "least worst"?

    Do they include all the suppliers? No
    Do they provide for possible cashback? No
    Do they provide a facility to switch directly to a supplier? No
    Do they offer access to exclusive deals? No
    Do they offer a monitoring and alert service? No

    Which sites would I recommend? Well that is easy.

    Seems to me you may not be an entirely disinterested party !  Connections or interests with CEC/MSE/MSM or some part of the energy industry?
    As previously stated many times, you can start by using Citizens Advice and 'Which?' to find their cheapest suppliers (e.g. Neon Reef for electricity) and then try CEC etc to see whether you can improve upon what you find.  I'd have been worse off if I'd relied on CEC, and CEC won't monitor my Neon Reef tariff either.
