Orbital Machine (Wat Tambor on FX-Sabers) does some of the best machining/hilt making currently... however I believe he does more RUNS and production parts than single sabers.\
VadersVault does GREAT custom hilts, high end, but usually canon type sabers.. (and their wait time might be long)
SaberForge,, like the visual designs.. but wouldnt purchase from him ever due to the feedback over the years (theft, no saber, wrong saber shipped, stealing of ideas/other works and other dodgy practices)
UltraSabers = never in a million+ years would they get MY money (product is below sub-par, and custom service matches their product)
TCSS (The Custom Saber Shop) is a great place!.. but not a 'turn key' store.. this is where you can configure your own sabers and get the parts.. like a one stop shop with hilt parts electronics...etc..etc)
plus they have an 'awesome' MHS (Modular Hilt System) builder to play with on line before buying parts:

MadCow: From Genesis Custom Sabers is also a very top notch place to get hilts made.. artistic, can duel with them, truly works of art.
The sound board you put in it will mean a lot as well.. as far as adding value and the effects it will have...
IMHO (and many others) PlecterLabs products are hands down the top notch in the game. (and more or less a leader for others to follow)
There are several tiers/versions of soundboards available from them (The Crystal Focus (CF) being the top tier)
this not only gives you (customizable) sounds.. but also a slew of blade effects as well.
If you are looking for a replica/canon type hilt (Luke. Obi, Vader..etc)..
Perhaps try checking out LDM (Gen. Grevious on the fx-sabers forum).. as he and Orbital Machining had a run of pretty nice run of Luke/Obi hilts available.
