What crash cymbal should I buy?

I’m an intermediate drummer and i am wondering what brand i should buy for a crash cymbal if you could include a price that would be great thanks.

I played on Zildjian, Sabian, and Paiste. They are all reputable and quality, but cost is an issue. You have to hear what each sounds like, because often you get one and find it sounds horribly dissonant. You want to avoid cheap tin foil cymbals, and always use the spacers (bushings) between the cymbal and stand to avoid cracking the cymbal. You just have to find a deal. The 3 pack kits w/ ride, hihat, and crash are economical but often don’t sound great.
