I know you asked for Best, Lower Priced, but if you're looking for Good, Lowest Priced, I'd recommend the towels at Costco. 12 for under $9. I haven't heard of anyone having problems (micro-marring) from them yet.
2 thumbs up for pakshack - post office lost my box and he sent me another one within a day. Hes the man! And i have never expeierence anything as cool as MF (in the car detailing world) I used to think the absorber was cool, ha! The waffle weave towel blows the absorber out of the water!
