If I panelize boards and cut them myself (hacksaw, bandsaw, scrollsaw) I use PCBexpress(could be Sunstone now). I usually make large panels so the price per in^2 is low. PCBexpress standard delivery is two days for two layers.
If I want v-scores I use advanced circuits. five day turn. I have noticed that for small panels or large panels PCB express is lower cost.
