I've been using Shutterfly for photo books and Christmas cards for almost ten years now. As someone said, they have frequent discounts of up to 50% which they send via email (or just go to their site.) Usually free shipping for over $30.
(Often I use the Windows photo editing software to crop or enhance first before uploading.)
I don't know the other services to compare because I haven't used them since I've never been dissatisfied. Over the years they've added a lot of new options. They also have added many gift things I've bought like woven blankets and pillows with your photos on them.
Fairly often they send a freebie via email where you just pay postage. 100 free prints, 10 free cards, etc.
I find it easy to work with and use the option where you have a lot of control on the layout versus letting them arrange the book. I add different color choices for backgrounds, add extra layouts, flip the page layout, add, enlarge or remove text boxes, move the spacing, etc.
For our trips, I like to scan things like a map with our route or a typed itinerary and upload them for the book. I also like to buy the Retro Ranger vintage style postcards from National Parks to scan and include in the book.
Shutterfly delivers very quickly from plant locations around the country.
