Seeking a Good Stock Photo Agency (not micro)

I'm looking for a good outfit to which I can submit 100-150 images - mostly American West nature stuff: landscapes, macros, plants/flowers, and an occasional critter (2 or 4-legged).

Hoping to find a reasonable deal, percentage wise, and reasonable selling price (not microstock) - a place that has quality work, and a good volume of buyers without being a mega-corp.

Photo Researchers is looking interesting, and I'm waiting to get some contract info from them.

Any suggestions from your own experience would be appreciated. Warnings about companies to avoid would also be helpful.

Thank You!

    I am with Photoshelter.com they are new and offer 70% of the sales to the photographer and your choice of Royalty Free or Rights Managed. You may also like Digital Railroad or Alamay. All excellent stock sites.

    Thank you Cate - I appreciate the suggestions. I looked at these sites about a year ago, but never pursued it. With a personal recommendation, I'm more inclined to go ahead.:D
