I like OSHPark. They are not the cheapest but they also would drill tightly spaced feed
thru's that I could pass wire wrap wire through ( uninsulated ). I, also, didn't
need to create Gerber files for drilling ( always a possible source of errors from a past
place I worked at ).
I used KiCad.
Their boards were purple, if that meets your fancy.

I am having my PCB's made from PCBWAY in china. Shipping takes longer
than them being made. ~ $100 US for the PCB's and ~ $50 for shipping and tax.
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.
