Absolutely great tweeters on the cheap (all are very solid recommendations IMHO):
The ring radiator is one of the easiest to integrate into quite a few different crossover configurations (ever wonder how Polk managed to make it work so easily?). It is also cheap for its performance and cost perspective.
My favorite inexpensive dome (that's under $40!) is a custom pure silk dome made for GR Research. It embarasses many $150+ silk domes from companies like Vifa and Scan Speak. Truly high end sound for damn near nothing.
The Cantum Ribbons are starting to gain quite a bit of ground as of late and probably beat anything else that's a true ribbon from a cost perspective. (Those damn Chinese are just making everything high end afordabale nowadays).
Another up and comer is the new Neo flat driver from BG just one a comparison shootout of tweeters under $100 in terms of distortion, overshoot and impulse measurement(around $45 I think).
As for the hypholutant drivers such as the Dynaudio Esotar or the the $3,000 diamond tweeters...well, I'm sure that some others can chime in here ;-)
