I haven't priced anything out yet. My current project will have
reasonably large sized board but will be using DIN 41612 style
connectors (so I don't need edge fingers). I haven't gone to different
board vendors yet to see what pricing will be yet (still settling on
board size and number of layers...right now it looks like it'll be 4
layers).

For other boards without gold fingers where would you recommend and
how expensive for omnibus size boards?

If I may8 ask a question. I have never had boards made before. How
do I find a good board house that is reasonable and how do I specify
the board especially for the PDP-8 Omnibus which should have gold
fingers on the edge connectors?
Anything the size of an Omnibus board with gold fingers is *not*
going to be "reasonable" especially if you want "hard gold" (which
IMHO is the only way to go if you want reasonable life of the boards
and sockets).
I've used Advanced Circuits for all my boards that needed gold
fingers (they are *not* cheap...you've been warned). When you submit
your Gerber files, you also specify if you have edge fingers and how
you want them plated. I have been 100% satisfied with the boards
that I've received from them.
