I'm using the canon i960 right now with epson 8x10 glossy paper.
good combination but you need to spend a little time calibrating the colors (no biggie).
I personally can't stand sending my shots to the lab because they will usually batch process the shots and possibly compress the image and what you send is never what you receive.
having a printer yourself is more expensive if you're only printing 4x6, but you get to control the variables and have prints EXACTLY the way you like it.
if you print lots of 8x10 ++, then getting your own printer will save you money!
From what I know, epson inks last longer and print better on matte, canon inks fade faster and print better on glossy. you make the call!
