People commonly suggest aluminum for budget and carbon fiber if weight matters. Many recommend a ball head with an Arca-Swiss compatible plate, because those plates are cheap and widely available, and it avoids the proprietary adapter problem you ran into. Brands that come up often at mid-range prices are Manfrotto, Benro and Sirui. Buying used from reputable camera dealers is also commonly mentioned as a way to get better quality for the money. Hope that helps narrow it down.</p></blockquote><p></p>
