Quite every brand has cheap quality and good one in their line of products.
In US it can be convenient Progressive or some minor local brands (Progressive is from US).
In Europe we have many choose between Ohlins (Sweden), Technoflex (Holland), Hagon (UK), Ikon/Koni (Germany), and the italians Bitubo and Marzocchi.
But Progressive are known to be a fine quality expensive product so some time a import product from Hagon or Ikon has similar price range.
If you find Ikon for good price, they have the better quality/price balance.
