They seem to be doing a good job from Bing.  For those using JOSM I'd
suggest the Hillsborough USGS
(wms:http://imsortho.cr.usgs.gov:80/wmsconnector/com.esri.wms.Esrimap/USGS_EDC_Ortho_Florida?FORMAT=image/jpeg&VERSION=1.1&SERVICE=WMS&REQUEST=GetMap&Layers=FL_HillsboroughCounty_0.5ft_Color_Dec_2007_01,FL_HillsboroughCounty_0.5ft_Color_Dec_2007_02,FL_HillsboroughCounty_0.5ft_Color_Dec_2007_03,FL_HillsboroughCounty_0.5ft_Color_Dec_2007_04,FL_HillsboroughCounty_0.5ft_Color_Dec_2007_05&).
 That is where I traced most of the data from originally.

The work being done on the buildings is just awesome.  Are there some
special tools being used for that, or is it just really fast tracing?
