I take it you are very new to this.

Just like sourcing any parts you visit the maker for the tour and have them explain why you should use their services.

I would recommend you to try WellPCB. They You can order and buy from there. They served best circuit boards at very good price.

I'll disagree.

There are many fine PCB houses out there. Why would you think these are the best?

But not all.

They offered me the best price for the circuit boards where the other asked for the higher amount for the same.

That's strange. You now say they have the best board because they have the lowest price.
That's the way you buy your phone also ("any $50 Chinese phone is better than a $700 Samsung")? I don't believe that.

Best price does not mean best for all of us.

We had a best price producer and about 1 in 100 boards had a defect. While their price was great we lost the price edge because the company owner wanted the engineers to figure out why those boards didn't work. We obliged but there went the savings.

Quality matters too. Also Pb free, and formaldehyde use.
