I use photoresist pre-coated Kinsten boards. They are cheap and easy to use if you have access to a laser printer and a UV box. I also use Eagle software from cadsoft for designing my boards - its really quite easy to use. SMD boards take less time to do because you need to drill fewer holes. If you need more than 2 or 3 of the same board, futurlec.com.au are very cheap for getting boards done. They accept your eagle PCB file (as well as many other formats) and most sizes you are likely to make will end up in the $100-$150 bracket or even less. So its sometimes cheaper to get them to do it than to buy a drill, etching tank, chemicals, transparencies etc.
