It depends on what you mean by "budget". I would also suggest an emperor. I like the fact that mine hold two cartridges.

The aquaclears are obviously the best, but they can get pricey.

You can sometimes find a used aquarium with filter for the price of a new HOB, try shopping around

Craigslist, Ebay, and local forums. Also look at your lfs. Both of my local fish stores will carry used working items for a discounted price.
