The title should say all. I got many good comments on the recent Shapeways video so I figured it was worth dedicating a video to responding to a few of them. If this is something you want to see more of, let me know.

Xometry. A few things to note, for 3D printing their default method is FDM and to really get any good cost savings you need to use the "economy mode" for printing and pick the free shipping to save money. They do offer media tumbling and dye options for SLS parts. MJF parts do not have this, so you are on your own to finish them. They do not offer resin printing currently.

Sculpteo. A few things to note, they specialize in 3D printing. For some materials and print sizes, they offer "economy" printing to save a few dollars with a longer lead time. They do charge a $50 minimum order, and charge shipping depending on the order size as the production is done in France. They offer the largest range of 3D printing materials, and it would be best if you could get a large batch order done for parts.
