QFT. You can also upload the native Eagle .brd files to Oshpark for ordering PCBs, allowing you to skip making CAM files. This lets me upload 8 or 9 times per design, as it shows you a preview of what it will look like and lets you catch errors or sketchy situations easily.
That being said, making custom parts in Eagle can be arduous if you're not used to it. There are no convenient dimensioning tools like Solidworks' Smart Dimension. You either have to go by the dimension grid, or type in coordinates for each part manually.
