At least for a good reference, I can recommend shapeways.
If you take the time to create an account, you can upload your model and benefit from shapeways´ model processing, showing you stats and running through a printability test. You´ll get print prices for each and every material you select and can then either go back to tune your model and re-upload or make a decisision based on the material cost. You don´t need to publish or actually print the model, so I found this helps a lot in starting to create models that fit as good as possible into print specs (size, wallthickness, etc.). It´s important to check the bounding box limitations of different materials (based on the printer/material used) and get used to how the different materials influence your print result. That is a pretty good and transparent service that should lead to few surprises. From there, it´s probably easier to compare competition prizes and options.
