Re: Lapping rings
+1 on the Seekins rings. But if you already own a pair and you think they need lapped then Sinclair and brownells both sell them in 1" and 30mm. I would go with Sinclairs though just for the fact that the bar is made from ground stainless steel (longer life)and some others are just mild steel.

Re: Lapping rings
I have never lapped a set of 30mm rings. The 1" rings I always lap. My 30's are Badger, Seekins, etc. Never needed lapping that I could see.
On the 1" sets, I always feel better when I lap them because of the dovetail setup. They also don't appear to be as finely finished as the highend stuff, as you would expect.

Re: Lapping rings
I use the Kokopelli lapping kits. I think they're great and I've got them in 1", 30mm, and 35mm. I use they're kit to check the rings on everything before I mount any optics. The IOR rings were the only ones that didn't need lapping so far.
