I have been using ExpressPCB for over a year now on about 7 different  
batches of boards in quantities from 100 to 600 pieces. The quality  
was excellent and I found their prices to be on par with most others  
for those quantities (the 'magic number' is somewhere around 50-60  
pieces where the prices start to get real good.) They have always  
delivered when they said they would and twice they delivered as much  
as 6 business days early. I have had questions answered usually  
within 16-24 hours, sometimes under 8 hours.

  I particularly like their 3 day delivery prototype, 3 boards (2.5"  
x 3.8" - 350 holes per board max, no solder mask, no silkscreen) for  
$59.
