I have seen that the B377+COTS can be purchased from three dealers,
1) Directly from A2A
2) Flightsim store
3) PC aviator
Does it matter in any way from which one I buy it?
Will I get the latest version if I buy now or do I need to download some additional updates?

I usually try to buy addons direct from the Devs where possible. Why should a middle man have a bite of the profits.

In my case PC aviator would be of interest since I have been offered a $10 discount on my next order there durin this month. In addition to that they sometimes 10% discount during a day. I'm waiting for such a day.

You can not just consider "if I pay (say) 100 dollars to a store, 80 goes to the dev, and 20 to the store, if I pay 100 dollars to the dev, 100 dollars go to the dev".

Sometimes, the costs of selling your products (price of setting up and maintaining the store online, price of dealing with tax laws, price for bandwith etc.) can be so high, that you indeed make more money of a product sold by a reseller. That is one of the reasons that for ex. Simmarket is popular, especially among smaller developers.
Another reason is, product being listed on a bigger shop web increases awareness. Obviously, this is not at all applicable to giants like Aerosoft or PMDG, not too much applicable either to well estabilished company such as A2A is, but can be a difference between profit and bankrupcy for small outfits.
