I'll use whichever of those seems best (typically, cheapest, if the other terms are the same). I've never had a company say "Our contracted rate was $225, but you only paid $175 AAA rate and we don't like that."
Absolutely. Everyone does that or thinks it is ok. What people are questioning is- I work for company X, contracting for company Y, but company Z has a great rate, so I will use that.
But apparently the questioners all cheat on their taxes so are not allowed to express their moral/ethical qualms with the above.
