Yes, it's not perfect as it only uses a few exchanges, but better than just looking at one exchange. By the way, the price you're seeing on preev is probably bitstamp's.

https://bitcoinaverage.com/ is good, though they seem to have removed the "ignore MtGox" button. I usually just watch Bitstamp (which is Preev's default, IIRC) on Bitcoinity directly though, it's usually a good indicator of the price since it's one of the largest exchanges.

Gox is always either the highest or the lowest for pricing; preev.com should give you the more accurate price, since it's an aggregate of several exchanges.

There is no one exchange rate, and no value is more accurate than any other value. Mt. Gox is the most quoted but its problems make it an outlier. All the exchanges operate independently, so trades occur at different prices. Although there is some amount of arbitrage, the difficulty of transferring fiat between exchanges prevents the difference in the prices from narrowing.
