Thinking about doing a refi and am wondering if there is a good way to shop and compare offerings. Best bets?

I should be more specific. I don't have offer a and offer b and want to compare them. I'm wondering if there is a good way to shop around for a refi.

Bankrate.com check through out the day as different lenders have time slots they appear in. I just got 3.0% on a small amount of cash out refi. No lender fees or points. Just the county taxes and title fees. Cash out refi's will always have a slightly higher rate than if you just do a straight refi.

I'm doing this now. Best way is through an independent mortgage broker or online through the internet only providers. However, I got rates from my existing lender and they are actually pretty good with slightly less fees.
I was quoted 15 yr 2.25%, 20 yr 2.5% and 30 yr 2.625% all with 1 point discount. Trying to decide if I want to go with the 15 or 20 yr.

Flagstar 3.06%, 0 points, cash out refi up to 80% LTV for the cash out for that rate

Click advanced and put it 0 point or however many points you want to pay. Points are not worth it IMO with the the minimal spread between the bought down rate.
