I use eurocircuits.com for prototypes, the quality is excellent and they=20 do 6/6mil traces and 10 mil holes as standard. Since you didn't state your location, I will assume USA - i.e. one=20 2-layer panel with 10 different designs, 250x250mm size, 7 working days=20 plus delivery is 103.24 EUR including shipping. This is according to the=20 online calculator which is somewhat buggy so I'm not 100% sure about the=20 price, I have never used that many different designs on one panel. All dimensions on the site are metric, prices in Euro and the boards are=20 lead free.
