I think the key is to find a place that is able to print a fairly
neutral B&W (watch for green or magenta color casts) consistently. 
Costco use Fuji Frontier and I recommend the "matte" paper (really a
semi-gloss) for B&W.  I used to do this using Winkflash.com as they
delivered consistently neutral prints.  These days I print everything
myself.

Inkjet printers found in prolabs like the Epson R3800 or R2400 (or
their larger variants) can also achieve this on a wider variety of
papers.  Maybe call around and see what your local photo labs or
stores would use to print B&W, what type of paper and what it costs?
