I always use Swoodoo or Kayak metasearch to get an overview of what's available. Sometimes, you get great opportunities: I booked a flight for summer (albeit with LH) which I got for 200 EUR, while on LH it was 300 EUR. Seems the OTA (cheaptickets) had reserved some tickets, since the booking class wasn't offered by LH anymore.
That said - if the difference is small (up to 20 EUR), I prefer to go with the airline directly in order to avoid any hassle in case of IRROPS.
