I have used PVC junction boxes from e.g. Carlon. It is also possible to get nice big see through carbonate enclosures, which is definitely a plus (no need to make holes for LEDs, displays etc.) Waterproof is a plus, easier to cut is a plus, corrosion resitance is a plus, the main downside is that you cannot heatsink SSRs directly to the wall.

Here are some pretty cheap ones. http://deepsurplus.com/HOME/Enclosure-Boxes_2/Non-Metallic-12-x-12-x-4-Enclosure-Box

Adam: I just looked on BUD Industries site, and in this series they have enclosures as large as 27x20x10...I'm sure they get a bit more spendy in the larger sizes, but I think that is the case regardless of material.

NewBrewB:
I'm confused, you mentioned that you got a 20x20 enclosure here, but turned it 'sideways' to get more room. If it was a square enclosure, how did this buy you more room for components on the door? Maybe I missed something, or it is just how things are laid out internally. Just curious.
