Hi Jerel,
I'd say almost any type of rock from a small LFS is going to be pretty $$. When I first started my first reef tank in 91, LR was very expensive and hard to find I believe I paid $12-15 per pound back then from the LFS. Since then I only buy from places like Harbor where they get it in bulk (tons at a time) and I can select the pieces I want and for a much cheaper price!
As far as what I like the best, I favor large pieces with holes or arches. I hate small (baseball size) rocks because they are hard to arrange to look like anything. I like the look of a spur and groove setup. Bob
