PC Boards, where do YOU get them?

I'd like to ask the group what your preferred source for PC boards
is? I'm talking about custom, made to your order boards. I've been
using Radio Shack's standard boards, but it sure would make it easier
if I could buy some custom boards. I've seen a few places on the
web, none of them extremely cheap, but that isn't really what I'm
after. I need to make 10-15 of the same project using the BS1 and
I'm sick of soldering in jumpers.
Thanks in advance,
John

ExpressPCB is a good company for one-off projects. The software is very easy
to learn, the board quality is very good and the turnaround time is fast.
Not the cheapest, dollar-wise, but very cost-effective when you account for
your time and effort.

you take your time to learn it then at some point you want to create
Gerber's,and every other program you try your comparing to expresspcb.
and the learning curve becomes much greater.
I'm a user of expresspcb so I'm talking from my own experiences.
I'm in the process of learning winboard,but it is difficult to use .
many people recommend eagle which is free 200 pins then there are board
hoses that you can use at a good price.
these are just my own personal views.
