I dont use mine everyday but I want a good one when I need it.
If price is important, and I understand that, and you arnt planning on using it all that much maybe you should look at the Campbell-Housefeld (sp?). My ex boss had one and it worked OK.

I would suggest watching Ebay for a good used name brand model. I picked up a slightly used Spraytech model for about forty percent of what a new one would cost. It has worked perfect for over three years now, not that we use it every day but it's noce to have a really good one to use when you need it. Even if it needs to be rebuilt in the future I will still have a lot less into it than just buying new.
Another good option.

turbineaire (sp) is a good one. Very economical when you figure they add in the N&N.
That is if your looking at a turbine powered one. Now compressed air (conversion) HVLP are more cost effective b/c your just buying the gun not the turbine.
I use the accuspray versamax LVLP. I bought that one b/c I can use it with my 4 gal twin tank emglo.
Jeff at Homestead has alot of different guns at reasonable prices.

I bought one from Harbor Freight with the blower and gun, it runs between 70 and 100. I have use mine for years, I commonly run Oil Based Kilz (thinned) and Semi-Gloss Latex-thinned. It works good and is cheap. Mine is the grey one---This is not the one I have but it might do for light use http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?Itemnumber=91772
