Who you guys use for alignments? Your local big chain tire shop? Specialty shop?

Depends on what is done to your car, and what you intend to do with it. For a stock car, used on the street, the average alignment shop can handle that. Adjustable parts and/or using it for autocross or road racing and you'll want to find a performance shop.

Street use. The only adjustable part I have is the panhard bar and the front lower control arms.

So, track straight down the highway, and minimize tire wear? I assume front lower arms still use the stock eccentric bolts on the k-member for camber and caster. If that's the case any alignment shop should be able to handle it.
