So what pro lab do you use?

Just an opinion question as I am curious- what pro lab do you use? Are you 100% happy with them and why? I know a lot of you use zen and mpix. I am always open to making sure I get the best quality at the best price so that is my reason for asking.

I use Black River Imaging and have had nothing but great work and amazing customer service. If an edit looks funny or they the call and verify that is what I want. I just checked and mpix beats them on price so I am debating on switching. Input welcome.

For everything that is 13x19 or 13x44 and smaller I use my own Epson R2000. For anything wider then 13inches I use Mpix. Like for instance, with my gallery showing I am printing everything from my printer. I order 16x24 prints from Mpix.

The Epson quality is just as good as the Mpix and IMO Mpix is really good.
I had also order greeting cards from mpix.

Zenfolio is a site to hosting photos who using mpix to print. Zenfolio is not their own photo lab.

I haven't been to mpix site lately, so I don't know if they offer everything I want. I use Nation's because of the variety of products I can offer my clients. I can get everything from gallery wraps to coffee mugs. I've always had great customer service & the turn around time works great for me.

Mpix here.

It seems mpix, bay photo and nation are the most common labs. Has anyone order the same photos from each 3 to compare quality?
