If you want cheap try www.apcircuits.com They are hard to beat and quickturn
too.
All of the small 2-sided boards I've given them turned out great and price is
right.

For the larger, more complex jobs, You might try Gold Coast.  Lisa Davis is
the
sales manager- [log in to unmask] and they are always reasonable w/ good
quality.

Good Luck and thanks for looking out for Uncle Sam!
