I also use OSHPark but only because for small pcbs they have they are the cheapest ENIG option. I know it probably makes no difference, but the after dark PCBs with ENIG do look nice.
If another supplier can do the same look but cheaper I'd have no issue with swapping, since for anything larger than a tiny PCB the oshpark prices get high real quick. I have had a couple boards from them in the past where there were some manufacturing defects like connecting traces. They give you 3 per order so it's usually fine, but it did lose me a bit of time and wasted components trying to debug. Also I recall in the past when they were BatchPCB they would clean the board edges. They don't do that anymore, meaning I have to individually dremel and clean the breaking points of each pcb, which is an annoyance to do safely if you have a bunch of small pcbs and don't want to breath in pcb dust (it's also itchy if you get it on your hands).
