I recommend using surface mounts for everything . . . hand soldering isn't any harder than with through-hole, but SM is MUCH cheaper if you have another company assemble it all for you.

Is there a tutorial on SMD soldering on SoR?  I couldn't find one.

Otherwise, can someone recommend a good tutorial?
