My plan is to have the PCBs made at (they seem pretty inexpensive, if
there are cheaper / better options available, I would like to hear them)

If you don't mind waiting a few weeks try http://www.batchpcb.com
I've used them for several small board designs and they are pretty
good for one-off smaller boards. Their fee is $10 + $2.50/sqin + shipping.
Very competitive for smaller designs but the per sq in fee becomes
prohibitive for larger boards (ie, beyond 8"x8" or so it is better to
go with a standard fast-proto board house).
Dual sided copper, dual soldermask, and dual silk.
The downside is the waiting time. They panelize designs, send to China
(Gold Phoenix fab) and then ship your boards out (I use USPS) when ready.
Typically it has taken 2-3 weeks from submit to receipt.
