Are you looking for local service or in international? In US, i've used Bayphoto, National Lab Photo, Duggal and WhiteWall (based in Germany).

I like all of them depending on what you are looking for.

For international I would also recommend Whitewall, their work is second to none, although definitely not at the budget end of the spectrum. I use them for large monochrome prints, IIRC 90"×72" is the maximum size on traditional Ilford MG IV papers, both in RC and FB Baryta. I have their sample pack, and the prints under acrylic, along with everything else is top notch. I just wish there was an easy way to show the quality over the net. I don't know if they still do it, but they used to offer a free sample box, with approx 4"×4" (100mm) samples of all the products, for just the cost of P&P.

Make sure you use .tiff file, less than 1 Gb file size and 300 dpi.
