Out of my own experiences: BS, IG, GG and GMG are good.

The rest range from dodgy to very dodgy.

Yes HB and WGS are safe too (they were added after OP posted.)

But I do have doubts about these:

G2A
Dealzon
CD Keys.com
CDkeyhouse

The bad ones I'm really sure about is indeed G2A and most probably the sister site HRK. :-)

I've had a good time buying from Indie Gala, I'd really recommend it. Now not that I'd tell you to avoid, but I was parctically robbed by Nuuvem, they gave me a used key and refused to refund.

I think all the ones I use or have used in the past were already mentioned.
Humble Bundle / BundleStars / GamesPlanet / IndieGala / IndieGameStand / GamersGate/ GreenManGaming...
Maybe you should split the list between official stores and unofficial ones. Also, you didn't put Steam xD

I've used Humble Bundle a lot of times, Bundle Stars for some bundles and Indiegala for one bundle, i've used Green Man Gaming too, when they gave 1$ free buying Bioshock Infinite, i think those sites are reliable.
I've used G2A too, most of the times the key was good, when not, i opened a "Dispute" with the seller, and i've received a refund or a new key, one time the seller didn't cooperate, after 8 days G2A changed the "Dispute" to a "Case", and they give me a refund, i never used the Shield option, but it's true that i've never bought expensive games on G2A.
Never used other sites, so i cannot recommend others, sorry.
