I've heard good things about Express PCB for doing 1 to 3 PCBs, double 
sided, plated through holes, silk screened and solder masked. They 
provide the schematic software and the layout software for free as a 
download:

I used their schematic software to create the schematics for the 
Therepings, the Thereclock and the TrainSaver that were eventually 
published in articles I wrote for nuts and volts magazine.

I haven't actually had them make a PCB for me yet as I haven't needed 
one yet and besides.. Paul has the ability to do one-offs for me. :)
