I've used them before.  The board quality is top notch.  If you need
many of a small design or a very short run, they're good.  $2.50/sq in
becomes extremely expensive compared to the competition if your board
gets too big, though.

The other thing to watch out for is min drill size.  If you design for
someone with a 15mil min drill and then have to adapt it to a fab with
something larger (eg custompcb was 24mil, last I checked) you could be
in big trouble.
