I guess it depends how much you're going to use them.
Same here. I think mine were from a cheap outlet in Keswick and cost less than £20. Taped seams, breathable and pack down reasonably well. A bit heavier than top end stuff but I think I've only worn them a handful of times in all the years I've owned them so can't justify the cost of OMM etc. Waterproof jacket is a different matter of course - OMM kamleika smock.
