I like OSHPark, US based and pretty quick, decent pricing. Low enough I
haven't felt compelled to look for cheaper alternatives. One nice feature is
that they take KiCAD board files directly, no need to generate the low level
Gerber files. One oddity is their purple (or black) solder mask, but one gets
used to it. 2 or 4 layers and some other variations.
