Run and Become is good in respect of having a very good selection across different brands, particularly for non-standard stuff like spikes and off-road shoes, but road shoes as well. My experiences of sales staff have been generally positive, non-pushy, but can't vouch for their expertise from the point of view of advice on fitting since I've only been in there to try different shoes for size after knowing pretty much what I was after.
I would just avoid Sweatshop, because they're not independent. Sales staff are on commission to try to sell you Karrimor products, which apparently are a bit pants.
