I can second this recommendation.  If you don't need to have the board
layout in a portble format, they're really good.  You have to use their
software to lay out the board, but the software is free and works well.
They offer everyhting from no-mask cheap quick service to full blown
production quality with solder mask and silkscreen.  I've been very happy
with them.
