As Craig notes the airline and hotel sites are generally offering the same prices as the discounters. You can get deals sometimes on Priceline, but your time in searching this out is worth something, too. Discount seats are usually cheap for a reason.
I do about 50K miles a year, about 60 nights in hotels. 95% is business. I book through the airlines, get my points, pick my seats, and have one throat to choke when something goes sideways. Plus, gaining status with an airline gives some extra clout when a flight is cancelled. And you basically won't be bumped unless you arrive too late. Same with hotels-- pick 2-4 chains and use them all the time.
If you are only traveling for pleasure and aren't worried about points on a FF program it's worth doing some shopping, but do it carefully.
Just my $0.02
