Your best bet would be to have an acetate cut I would think. If you're interested in having one or two copies then that would be the way to go. Acetates have a much shorter life than vinyl, but it's a cheaper route to go unless you're filthy rich. Most places that deal with a lot of 12-inch vinyl can probably hook you up with someone that can do it. Generally you do want the highest quality master possible, either CD or DAT... some places won't consider a master from any other source but that. Just passing along what I know/heard.
