You always get what you pay for!
Personally, if you want the really low end stuff like that, I'd either check out the Paiste Brass 101 or the Meinl Tama stock cymbals. Brass 101's go for about 100 for a set, and the Tama stock cymbals you can probably pick up for 20$-30$ each. The Tama stock crashes actually sound pretty good for the price, but they're a bit hard to find.
Out of the typical starter sets though (which are a bit more expensive), I'd go with Sabian B8s. They sound good and tend to be fairly durable.

Sabian B8's or Meinl MCS. If you have a little more money, the sabian XS20's are even better.

My son has them and loves them. I use to have B8's and I think they sound better, accept for the Hats. The MCS Hats aren't the greatest, but I think they sound pretty good.
