I've had lots of luck with Bill Norman cranks, you can find them practically anywhere too.

For under $10, Rapala and Bombers have been my favorites, but I'm not a big crankbait guy. I haven't tried the minus1's yet but they look promising.

Rapala (I think you're gonna hear that one a lot!)

Storm Wiggle Warts

Some of the Bombers (there's just something about a firetiger 7A), also the Flat A.      

Bagley is priced right at $10......the G-Force B Flat II (both shallow and diving) are GREAT lures.  Honey B's, Killr B's, etc....lots of good baits.  IMO you're better off getting the 70's, 80's lures on eBay....some of the new ones are really junky.  

I've picked up a lot of old Bagleys for between $4-$8 on the 'Bay.  

bandits are great starter baits.

I like Bombers, they work well for me and the price is right.  

I'm not much of a finesse fisherman so I love crankbaits. They work for me almost every trip.

Mainly right now in my tackle box are Bomber Fat Free Shads. They have a tight wobble to them and they work. They are pretty nice baits with a load rattles and they cost about 6 dollars CAD.

for shallow runners i like manns baby -1. they are pretty inexpensive as well.

Rapala are too expensive for my taste in crankbaits. I don't want to pay 9 dollars for a bait that I might have a chance of losing, but I do have lots of x-raps.

Rapalas

Bomber 8A's

Norman DD22's

Cabelas: their version of the jointed glass rap

i was with muddy right up until that jointed business.

Anything Rapala or Bandit. Strike King Redeye Shads, Bill Lewis Rat-L-Traps, Manns 1- Elite,

i was with muddy right up until that jointed business.

I would never have thought myself. I was out of Rapala Jointed Glass Shads and we were fishing the Lehigh River by Allentown, , so I stopped at Cabelas, they were out of the silver ones, so I bought 2 of the Cabelas version. They work great and they are 3.20 cheaper, I am staying with these

I caught my personal best on a Norman Fat Boy, bluegill pattern.

8-)

The ones that I use the most are:

Mann's 1-minus

Cotten Cordell Super Spots and Big-O's

Storm Wiggle Warts

Rat-L-Traps

Jitterbugs

Storm Wiggle Warts

Rapalas-Dt,Fat Rap,Shad Rap

Bass Pro Shops XPS and Lazer Eye series

Bandits of any type

Bandit and strike king are two good cheapies.

I like Norman's, strike king, and bandit.

Nothing can beat the consistency of a Rapala bait in that price range.

killer #1...shadrap #5

killer #2...norman dtn

aint nothing like H2O express cranks from academy outdoors and they run true all the time.

rapala,bomber,xps,manns

Bandits are my favorite. They run true out of the box and have a huge array of colors.

Daiwa Peanut

Storm Wiggle Wart

Norman Deep Little N-this one will give you trouble but it is a fish catcher.

cordel big-o

Rapala DT series.  Maybe because they helped me catch my PB today, but they have also caught a ton of other fish for me too.  I also like the Strike King Pro Model crankbaits, they are pretty good for $4.
