Have you made a purchase using multisig?

I love TMP! In fact, it's the only market I've really used since last year. Whether or not multisig purchases feel more secure depends on your definition of "secure." If you mean "secure" in the sense that it somehow makes you more anonymous, then no. In fact, you lose some amount of anonymity because purchases go straight from your wallet to the escrow wallet and then to the seller.
If you mean "secure" in the sense that you won't have to worry about someone stealing your coins, then absolutely. I can't tell you how nice it is not to have to deposit coins on a site, wait for them to show up, and then withdraw the extra amount back into your wallet. With multisig purchases, you know exactly how much BTC you'll need and you send it directly to a wallet when you're ready. You can track your transactions on the block chain, and there is zero chance of TMP stealing your funds. Also, no one EVER asks you to finalize early when you're using multisig.

I'm not a buyer, but I figured my experience is worth something.
Out of all of the multi-sig transactions I've processed, the only ones I've had problems with are due to me losing the private keys, which was my own fault. Other than that, I've had 0 issues.

Always multisig.
I've only used BlackBank twice, but both were problem free.
No experience with TMP, sorry.
I may be a bit anal about it, but I only deal with vendors who support multisig.
I haven't used BlackBank but I have used TMP. I have made 5+ purchases using TMPs multisig system. The first few were using brainwallet.org, until the Electrum plugin came out.
I'm not sure if it felt more secure as a buyer, as I never threw down more than $50, but I could see how a vendor would prefer to not have all that escrow cash sitting on a market.
If TMP can make it a little easier for the average Joe to buy and sell, I have no doubt they will be the next big market.
