Default Best veal cutlets?

I have been serving veal at my restaurant for a while now and have tried many different cuts, but I can't seem to find a product I am truly happy with. Mainly I've been sticking to a pre cut, pre portioned cryo-vac cutlet that comes frozen from Sysco and I've also tried some from U.S. Foods. I've tried leg cutlets and loin cutlets. I serve veal in three different items on the menu, so movement is not a problem. Even though the cutlets are fairly thin, I still pound each one to order then lightly dust with flour. They are all sautee dishes, and I use french style steel pans, so they cook hot and fast. Should I be getting some sort of whole loin or leg roast and slicing it myself. I do wonder sometimes if the stuff I get is getting a consistent cross cut, It should I'm paying out the wazoo for it! Any Ideas?

i've used veal top round with good success. The Sysco stuff is pretty unidentifiable IMO. Wouldn't spend the $$ on loin for a cutlet.
