What is the concensus on the best low cost PCB services for protoyping
and small runs of basic double sided boards?

There are so many to choose from, in Europe and China, I don't know
where to start.

Any recommendations?

I have been using www.4pcb.com, they are here in the states, give good
service, and reasonable prices. Waiting for a shipment now, in fact!

4pcb is one of those board houses that charge and extra $50 if more then
one design is on a pcb order.

Their $33 special is not so special.

You HAVE to order 4 boards ( so thats $132 ).
If the board contains more then one design, thats an extra $50 !! ( for
a total of $182 plus shipping)

or if you want to step-n-repeat, thats an extra $50 !!

I do like their 1-day (cough,cough) program though.
