I've used odesk once or twice. They're all about the same really.
At this point it's beneficial for me to stay on Elance because contractors see how much I've paid out, how consistently I give good ratings, etc. They know I'm a good contractor so they're more likely to bid.
I don't do much to try to get "certain" freelancers. Sometimes I'll sponsor a project if I need it done really quickly (under 48 hours, not a development project) but otherwise I just put it out there.
