mmm... IMHO you shouldn't buy the cheapest. You are improving your vision,
and protecting your eyes. If you buy cheap sunglasses you won't see very
well and your cornea will burn to death...
I use now Oakley, as a lot of pilots I know. Looks aside, they have great
optics.
The Randolph Engineering sunglasses are also great, classic looks and very
good optics. Not very expensive as well.
Ray Ban are also a good bet, in my experience.
Look for good UV filtering, good contrast, no color alteration, and feel
comfortable with them (good brightness filtering)

Buy the cheapest you can find. Sooner or later you *will* sit on them.
OTOH some pilots report that the Oakleys have the best success with the
line girls. Myself, I like my skylets for their intellectual look.
