I'v bought at GE Polymer Shapes a couple of times mostly because they are close to my home. They seem to be pretty decent to deal with.
As for cutting on the table saw, a plastics blade is the best choice, but probably too costly. Next best is a fine tooth carbide blade. I use a 10" 120 tooth, which works pretty well.

I've used two different manufacturers blades, purchased locally, which have worked very well for me. The better one I can't remember the name ( Tman1973 ownes it now.) The one I'm using currently is made by Royse I believe. They are a bit pricey but not in the long run after inexpensive resharpening, time and material saved with better cuts. Probably not worth while if you are planning on using a cheap table top portable style saw though.

Your other option is to get the acrylic shop to cut everything to spec for you. I did that at industrial for my nano refugium and it worked great. I assembled things myself but I'm sure they could do that too if you wanted.
I chose to have them cut to spec because it was cheaper than buying the tool and bits needed to cut things myself. good luck and look forward to seeing the finished project
