I buy from BandCamp whenever possible.
Not all artists can do a donation model - there must a fan base to get there - but I know a lot of little guys who use BandCamp or similar services to let the end user decide how much the album is worth to them. Not all places are lucky enough to be able to support favoured artists by going to shows - not every where gets them, remember? Artists and their labels have to pick and choose where makes the most sense to book - and if the booking agent doesn't think the local scene will support a show, the show doesn't get booked.
In those cases, it does make sense for me to show my support for that artist by helping boost their iTunes sales to get them more exposure and increasing their audience - then I can support them more directly by attending a show for them in the future.
