It depends whether you're looking at going for the cheapest or higher quality. Deltadisc did a decent job for me recently.

You can get masters and laquers (not pressings) done at places like
Dubplates & Mastering, Berlin
Transition, London
Dub Studio, Bristol (Henry has started cutting master laquers now!)
Honestly there's not really a shortage of people who can master for vinyl. There's also quite a few people who can cut master laquers. You might want to consider getting your tracks mastered, and the laquers cut, at the same place you're getting the records pressed though just to save time.

I heard from a certain someone who owns a fairly prestigious label that Transition Mastering is actually pretty shit, they really only do a half decent job.
Just saying

Highest quality. I've seen a few threads complaining about the mastering and sound of vinyl, i want to avoid that

This, i doubt so many artists would still use if that was the case.

I don't know, but this guy was telling me that it's mostly just because of a loyalty/culture thing - actually, a lot of artists have started switching...Mala and the Deep Medi crew just opted out of Transition

These 3 are masters at what they do.
Beau's masters make me swoon. Every vinyl which has his name on it is a stand out release in terms of sound quality.
Just have a butch at his discography :
http://www.discogs.com/artist/Beau+Thomas?anv=Beau.
Blackbox, Deep Medi, Area Records, Wheel N Deel, RAM, Chestplate, even the new Tempa has used him!

I see Beau's name etched in most of the vinyls I own.

I wouldn't believe all you hear:-)
Good mix and communication equals good master simple as that.
