The Home Depot 12 gauge stuff in my area works fine but is soooo stiff and hard to work with. It doesn't bend easily and you'll wish you had gloves on if you have to terminate a lot of ends.
Of course, this may vary from area to area.
Last reel I bought for the new room was from Monoprice. Still 12 gauge but extremely flexible and easy to work with. Also sheathed for in-wall application, (just in case you worry about that sort of thing,) AND it was way cheaper, even after shipping across the border, compared to the Home Depot bulk wire.
