I always use Advanced Circuits for prototypes. Never had any problem with 
them at all.

In *some* cases, I will order 100pcs of small sized boards (<5 sq. inches) 
because they are
a bit cheaper than my local supplier in Dallas.

Just for fun, I compared their pricing on 100pcs of a board 1.35" x 2.75", 
double sided versus
www.pcbcart.com (aka General Circuits China)

Advanced Circuits: $3.94ea delivered (includes any tooling and shipping)
General Circuits: $1.61ea delivered (boards were $1.01ea, this includes 
shipping/tooling)

So, I just sent them the Gerbers for a little pot board. Will report back 
when they arrive.
Can't beat 50% off *delivered*. We shall see. This is about the most simple 
pc board possible
(2 rt angle pots + 1 10-pin header).
