Another vote for rebusfarm from me, at least with C4D. Straightforward, integrated software, iPhone monitoring app, etc. The apps are kinda clunky, but they work well enough, especially once you get used to the process. When I tried some other farms I found that the setup and submission process wasn't as optimal.
What others have said about baking scenes is good advice. Some script-based rigs will need to be disabled too, stuff like Greyscale Gorilla's HDRI Studio Kit for example. Bake the whole damn file, keyframes and all, to be sure.
I've done 1080 TV spots and large wallpaper images successfully there. Watch out for large print stills — you will not want to render those distributed over multiple cores (their software will warn you of this). It's like writing a blank check, literally.
