I am currently using kicad for the stuff from other PDP-8/omnibus
creators but I intensely dislike the user interface paradigm on kicad.
We use Altium at work and I have been thinking about using that.

fingers on the edge connectors?
I was planning to try PCBWay for my boards. They say they do hard gold
fingers and they have a board assembly option that looks like it can
do what I need. I haven't used them before so this will be an
experiment in that direction as well.
If you're using KiCad for your designs (and if the Omnibus uses the
standard DEC boards), I have templates for double and quad height?
boards that you're welcome to. Since I haven't yet made boards from
them, check yourself that they're right before ordering but at least
they'd be a start.
