Both vendors will be producing CD sets. But "Best source" is a fuzzy term. :) Yes, daemonnews is producing a CD set. freebsdmall.com is now handling the old WRS/BSDi/WC subscriptions, and will be producing more CDs. daemonnews has not yet produced a CD set, so I'm not comfortable saying that they're "best". freebsdmall.com is still tied up with WRS, as you say, and nobody outside of WRS really knows what's going to happen in the long term, but they'll still be making CDs. Pick one, and subscribe. You can always switch later.
