I always use FedEx Ground for anything over about 2 pounds. They're about 30-40% cheaper than UPS, and at least as reliable. Just don't go to a MailboxesEtc or PakMail type store - they tack on hefty surcharges to UPS and FedEx's shipping rates.
I find that bubble wrap is the packing material of choice. You can get an enormous roll of it off eBay for under $20. Get the "Large Bubble" kind.
