I have both all clad pans and the aluminum pans with the blue handle that many restaurants use. the all clad saute pan was around 100 bucks, the blue handle was around 15 bucks, I prefer the blue handled one.

This is the way to go. I have a bunch of nice old Calphalon but I'm gradually replacing it with cheapo restaurant supply aluminum. $10-$20 bucks a pan, they heat up quick and make a nice sear, and when my girlfriend wrecks them I just buy another and don't shed a tear.
BTW those super thin aluminum/stainless pans you get at like grocery stores or Target or whatever are not worth the $5 you spend on them.
