I really liked B. Dalton's.
Waldenbooks also, they both had good layouts and a good balance of new and older SF at all times. I could always find my way at either.
And when it came to series titles, they somehow always stocked the full series, even if only one or two copies at a time. Good inventory control for the times. Too bad I couldn't say the same about Borders, although I had some good times there with friends.

I find it ironic that the B.Dalton model is so much better suited to the new century than the superstores that bought them out to kill them.

Oh, and: nicely said on the rest.
