PCB Kits?

[Lucas A Heckman]

Hello,
I plan to hand-design a few VCO, VCF, and ADSR circuits for a modular
synthesizer.  For the sake of convenience and reliability, I want to
have a decent circuit board.  In most cases, I'll need only one 
circuit board for each unit; I do not plan to make 7 identical VCOs, for
instance.  A few questions:

1) Which modules will perform reliably using point-to-point wiring?
Reliable tracking is unimportant, but I do not want to sacrifice much
sound quality.  (I plan to have VCOs, VCFs, VCAs, ring mod, LFOs, 
ADSRs)

2) Can you recommend a PCB kit for me?  I've seen one in Mouser, and a
cheaper one in Jameco that uses a negative film process.  Are these 
any
good?

3) How does "direct etch" work?  Is this what I need?  Do I need a kit
to direct etch, or can I just buy a few supplies?

Thanks for your help.
Lucas
