Default Foam roller, where?

I hope this is in the right section, where would you guys recommend to buy a good foam roller for a affordable price. I know that they are not very expensive but I have seen some upwards of 50 bucks. I am broke right now and can only afford 15 - 20 but I still want to make sure I get a good. The one I use at my gym is those white plain ones and it seems to get indentations that stay, do nicer ones stay firmer? I hope that make sense.

thanks for the replys!

They have a variety of styles, and I think their prices are reasonable.

I bought mine at Dick's Sporting goods. I think it was $20. Mine's one of those white ones, but if only you are using it I don't think it's going to wear out very quickly.

I got one for $20 too, at Academy Sports, it's a GoFit. I think it's firm but I don't have much comparison to go on. I like mine, it comes with a DVD to show you how to use it.
