What's a good place to get a better quality one or two-sided board?



A professional PCB house! No, I'm NOT talking about $$!! The "good ones"
don't use laminate remnants smaller than about 4" wide, and they often GIVE
this away to hobbiests who stop by, or sell it for pennies. Last time I
visited such a place (they now do multi-layer as well as 2-sided PTH), they gave me
maybe six or seven lbs. of the stuff, and in four years, I'm not half-way
through it all! ONE caveat: It is mostly 1/2 oz. copper, as ALL their stuff
involves PTH, so it gets "thickened" in the plating process. But, that only
means the user hasta be "more carefuller"!
