I would not recommend CustomPCB (aka Silver Circuits) for a 50 board
run.  I've used them before and the individual boards have required too
much attention to imagine using them for 50+.  I got one batch where
most of the vias did not conduct (my board easily exceeded the DRC
requirements).  They were happy to replace my order but they screwed up
the drill sizes for some connectors (which I worked around by mangling
the connectors).  Some of my 8mil traces were barly 3mil wide in places.

I will note that I have ordered from them knowing full well what I'll get
for the price, but for qty 50 I'd want more "plug and play".  I would never
use them for a PCB going in a kit!
