Of course the reason that shops carry a limited number of brands is the minimum annual sales requirements. The last time I talked to scubapro they wanted an opening order of $18,000 and that is the minimum you must buy each year. They also warned me that they expected that to go up and if it didn't they might decide to drop me as a dealer. I got the same story fro Aqualung the only difference way they aonly wanted about $13,000 for an opening order. Needless to say you won'r see anything from either of those companies in my store.
The major brands in our LDS include (not being the owner or working for them, I just know what I see on the shelves): Aqualung, Atomic, Scubapro, Seaquest (w/ Suunto computers being 90 percent or so want they sell for d.c.'s) , Henderson wetsuits, Andy's drysuits and recently Dive-Rite. I don't want to count all of the accessory items.
1) Scubapro (which we sell two to one)
2) Sherwood (we can do a significant discount but I am not a huge fan of the brand)
3) Oceanic
Those are our big 3

Hmmm, where to start. Most of the shops in my area carry a somewhat more limited selection though usually with 2 or 3 standout brands such as Atomic Scuba Pro, or Aqualung. There is one shop locally that seems to carry just about anything you might be looking for. They carry Scuba Pro, Apeks, Aqualung, Sea Quest, Suunto, Uwatec, Deep Outdoors, OMS, Drager, Sherwood Genesis, Xcel, and a whole bunch more. They don't always keep a large stock of some brands on hand but they can always get it in a hurry.
Scubapro & Oceanic.
I don't often see the Aqualung & Scubapro lines together in the same shop unless the shop does a high volume business.
