Wireless flash trigger?

Can anyone recommend a good brand and/or model wireless flash trigger they have had success with? I'm in the market for one, but have no personal experience with the brands I have found thus far.

Pocket Wizard is the industry standard, but they are a bit expensive. For a small home studio, you can get by with a set of Cactus triggers (one transmitter, one receiver) for less than $40 USD.

A pair of PW transceivers will cost 10 times as much ($170 each).

Because I'm on a seriously low budget I went with what they call the "ebay" triggers. The Yongnuo RF-602's. Got a transmitter and 3 recievers for about $64 and so far they've been great. Perfect for what I've been doing so far.

A review, (not from me but I agree)

Thats the monkey that took the pictures of himself with a lifted camera, right? And then the owner of said camera had questions about copy rights? Or something like that, :lol:

I've been using Pocket Wizard for years. They work great. I have no experience with any of the other brands.
