Dave:

Guessing by your email address that you are here in the Great White North so
check out Alberta Printed Circuits http://www.apcircuits.com/. Their Proto 1
service is the cheapest fast service around but the boards have no solder mask
and are sheared, not edge routed. They have a full service, small run 
capabilities too.

SMTH http://www.1pcb.com/ in BC has a proto service that includes solder mask,
ident, and panel routing for $110 US for 2 6"x8" boards, 5 day delivery. He 
does
up to 11.5" x 13.5" tab routed panels so you can combine small boards on one
panel to reduce the set-up costs.

I have used both.
