Perhaps not the best, but I have no complaints whatsoever. Can't remember how much it costs from either Autobarn or Supercheap years ago.

Used a cheap Kenco and threw it away after 5 or so uses. The top-of-the-range Kenco ones looks the goods though.

Used a good leather one ages ago and it was great for several uses, but as Benny states, it dries up and becomes useless after a short time.

I've owned my Aion for years they're great.

Another vote for the waffle weave towels. I have this:

I've tried heaps. And also owning a black car means that I'm extremely anal about how I wash it and what products I use.
The microfibre towels are OK, but nothing soaks like a waffle weave whilst leaving a bare minimum of swirl marks.

The chamois are absolutely crap in terms of leaving swirl marks.
