Lodge cast iron pans are like $20 and will outlast your grandchildren. You can get a set of them for < $100. Carbon steel are more expensive, but are easier to handle and I think are worth investing in at least one for daily use. They'll also last generations.

+1 for carbon steel over cast iron. They heat much faster and my wife wife doesn't need my help to lift them.
