Try the supermarket. Usually the prints they get you are perfectly acceptable (standard does vary however, you get both extremes of the scale in terms of quality).
They both use the same machines, which develop the film, scan it and print it via inkjet. The difference is in the manipulation of the scanned image, which at the pro lab may be more skilled. However, both of them may be doing things that you don't agree with. Usually they tend to saturate a lot, customers like that. Whether you like it is another matter.
For the quickness and convenience however, stick with the supermarket. For more important films perhaps send it off to a lab.
Shooting film with old manual cameras taught me photography (and continues to teach me a lot more now that I've moved on to monochrome).
