Same deal, my friend. Buy cheap, it'll be crap racks, mis-triggering, no sensitivity, and little resale value. I'd go for a recognised brand and pay a little extra for more features and usability.
The only ones I've got on with personally are the Rolands (HD1, TD3, TD6, TD20), but they ain't cheap. I've heard good things about the Yamaha alternatives but haven't tried them myself.
