I've used...
http://batchpcb.com/index.php/Products
http://www.pcbcart.com/
http://ezpcb.com/
If this is a one-time thing, BatchPCB may be the best choice. If there will be repeat orders, the latter two have a one-time tooling charge only on the initial order so follow-on orders are quite reasonably priced. All have excellent quality. The latter two have excellent service and communications. The first is automated to reduce costs so there is minimal hand-holding.

I've been using express pcb (http://expresspcb.com/) for about 10 years.
Free software and low prices. Never been late and always good product. Only downside is no gerber files for SMT screens.

No gerbers is a downside, but you can export a dxf, and get a cheap mylar stencil made. It works great, and the price is right. Here is the company that I used for stencils for my expresspcb design: http://www.pololu.com/catalog/product/446

And if you like metal stencils, this company is on expresspcb's list http://expresspcb.com/ExpressPCBHtm/Resources.htm , but I do not see that they accept dxf files. Maybe they do? http://www.stencilsunlimited.com/

I've just had 6 PCBs made by PCBwing ( http://www.pcbwing.com/ ). the boatds were double sided, silked screened, solder resist etc - Complete order inc express FedEx delivery was just under £120 for the lot.

Service was excellent, regular and fast replies to e-mails and the quality of the boards are fantastic - I'd recommend them anytime

I'm from the UK and I have used :

http://www.pcbtrain.co.uk

but to get cheap prices you have to select long delivery times, upto 15 days!.
For 1 off. 100*100 1.6mm FR4 it comes in at £31.50. Obviously for higher quantities the unit price comes down.
