Yes, I think one of the brands of the type you are talking about is "Sintra"? That's what I've been going after and its definitely not available in common stores. Carried only by sign makers and plastic supply houses. Going to have to drive cross town to get it.
I worried about the sagging too, but with a modestly sized hatchling rack, shouldn't be too much of an issue. From what I've read its supposed to be about $30 for a 4x8 sheet, but I have yet to get a reply from the company i emailed.

The later is great to work with but hard to find. Probably because it isn't a product with a common hardware community use. I know it is a staple in the sign making business though.
The stuff I've found at Menard's is "okay". It's heavy and the color leaves much to be desired.
