thats kind of like saying what exotic sports car is cheap...
what price range are you looking for though?
Gold nuggets don't go for too much.
Out of 600 or so Loricariidae, theres so many beautiful ones, and many of them look good. A couple of examples would be many in the Hypancistrus genus (including my avatar), some very nice looking Ancistrus, and the Peckoltia and small Panaques are often overlooked and many come cheap.
i was def thinking panaque sp too. I got my clown for 6 and i got my rhino for like 10 maybe 15 bucks. Dont remember exactly how much but it wasnt over 20
hope i dont get you confused, rhinos are not panaques, just listing my cheaper pl*cos. Oh and got my Ancistrus Claro for only 7.

well some are cheaper than other obviously. I got some L002's, always liked them. People like the flash plecos as well.

I think for the most attractive lowest cost big plec you can get that isn't too shy and often has a good personality is P. gibbiceps. Large specimens always look impressive... and there are albinos if you are that way inclined. Just my opinion anyhoo.
Define cheap...
All of them are pretty resonable when small. Clown's are cheap. Most of the Bushies are cheap. A lot rides on size it seems around me.

I agree with Davo, if you have the tank space a big Gibby is an impressive fish
Keep an eye on the local trade and exchange sites, they are often advertised cheap when they outgrow peoples tanks. I've picked up an 8" Gibby and a 6" Goldspot L001 for free lately. (actually traded them for a bag of guppys, but thats the same as free
) They aren't fancy fish, but they are impressive.
