I am looking for recommendations for the best lab for photo prints without regard to price.
I have used both Bay Photo and Mpix. Both do great work and I will continue to use both of them.
Also... I have done prints on paper, canvas, and metal, and all have been great.

Thanks for the info. I have a 27" iMac and people say it doesn't need to be color corrected. Is this true?
No.

All monitors need calibration and profiling. As good as that P3-capable monitor is, it is still subject to drift.
1) Turn off auto brightness and the auto “night shift” to a warm color balance. Do this before calibration and before any image editing session.
2) Calibrate and profile, using a kit from X-Rite or Datacolor.
Keep brightness moderate if you print. Typical photo lab aims, set in software used to calibrate:
> Gamma 2.2
> Black Level 0.5 candelas per square meter
> White Level 105 cd/m^2, +/— 15
> Color temperature set as software recommends (usually 5800K to 6500K).
