Can anyone tell me what layer to use (or other process) so I can tell the
board shop where to panelize the board?

I've always used a mechanical drawing emailed in PDF form along with the
gerber files, showing the board rotations, score dimensions, thief area,
etc. Usually these files are made either by the assembly house or in
consultation with them to match the needs of the pick 'n place equipment at
the assembly house. It's up to the PCB fab shop to program their equipment
appropriately to panelize and score according to this drawing. Works for
me.
