Personally, I think the best thing that you can do is make it all from scratch, but then again, I'm not saying you have to do it that way. I think that chipamp is very intuitive and very easy to understand, by what I hear, and the PCBs and parts that I saw, along with the schematics as well. I think that making a chip amp from a perf-board and wire would work well. Just make sure to leave some breathing room when you do those types of boards

Yes, especially with the LM3875, it is very easy to go point to point with a breadboard.

Here is an illustrated example: LM3875 Point to Point Construction

Otherwise, chipamp.com and audio sector are good choices if you want to go the PCB route.

Here is an industrial looking amp I built with chipamp.com boards:
