I currently use a HP 4470cse and have had no problems. The scan quality is very good to excellent but not as fast as some other scanners. I purchased it for about $150 USD but I think places are selling it for around $100 USD now...dammit.
I used to have a Mustek 1200 ($69.00) and that was a pretty good scanner as well. It was probably just as good as the HP that I have now. I got rid of it because it wasn't compatible with Windows XP and the site said they would not be making drivers to make it compatible.
My suggestion would be to go with a cheaper scanner since quality isn't too different (in my experience) and the only thing you will give up is a little speed.
