Bingo! I find these big box DIY stores to be pretty much a commodity, and I'm more about who's close than who it is. More importantly, it's about where I know stuff is so I can get in and get out quickly.
For me it's the HD on 16th Ave. Yeah, it's a smaller "express" store and doesn't have the full selection of a full sized store, but 80% of the time it has what I need. I also know it inside and out and know exactly what aisle to go to. I find service is on par with ever other DIY retailer - go at a slow time and you'll be fending off staff. Go when it's busy and they're MIA.
Would I go to a Lowes? Only if:
1) a good deal is to be had
2) can't find it at my HD.
Rona is sure to lose in this battle - there's no way they can match the purchasing power of Lowes and HD. Note to self: buy 2015 put options on Rona....
