Education is almost always the best bet.... if you are in ADC, you may or may not get a cheaper price through the developer purchaser plan.
Where you get screwed is taxes... so I recommended calling a "UPS Store / Mailbox, etc" in Billings, Montana or other state with no sales tax and having your stuff shipped there, avoiding sales tax.. then pay the store their $50 to ship it to your house... even at $50 for shipping, sales tax is typically $250+ on a macbook pro.

Pricing a new MacBook through Apple Store online, I have many buying options:
1) Working for the Army, I could buy through the Federal Employee
Purchase Program.
2) With a son in college, I could get it though the Educational Store.
3) Even without point 1 or 2, I could buy refurbished - when the model
I want is available.
A quick look at one configuration (White MacBook 2.0GHz + AppleCare)
shows educational store is lowest cost. But I'm not sure this is true
for all models and configs.
Other than pricing each configuration I'm considering through each
purchase plan, is there a good way to know which plan is least
expensive?
