I myself would suggest using the PNP method.
That said, check out what Dave has done with the photo-resist method, Real Nice PCBs!

It is hard to find something easier and cheaper than using glossy photo paper or PnP. Even at $2/sheet, when you consider how much time and money it would take to draw all the patterns you can stick on a letter-sized sheet, or to silk-screen them, you simply can't do it any cheaper and easier than toner-transfer.
