Hi Katherine,
 
The ones from Sigma-Aldrich seem to be consistently the most reliable 
(at least for when I've really needed them).  You can download pdf 
versions of MSDSs for their products from their website for free.  You 
might need an account with them, but you should be able to create that 
for free.  Here's their URL if you need it.

Katherine,
 
Perhaps you haven't found a source you really trust because mainly there 
isn't one.  You must naturally have available the 
manufacturer's/supplier's MSDSs, but if you have a real concern about 
any issues with the chemicals you are storing/using, you should consider 
doing a "due diligence" literature search yourself.  "If you want it 
done right, do it yourself" is an old adage, but one that has a great 
deal of truth in it.

One of the best we have found is ChemWatch, which is a subscription 
service, but which independent of any manufacturers provides good 
searching and review for development of their MSDS database.
