... recommendations for the best equipment dollar for dollar...

That's always relative to your budget....especially on home rec forums.

If you have $100k to spend on audio gear, you value-to-dollar perspective will be much different than if you have $1k to spend.

And just so you don't misunderstand me...even on home rec forums you can find lots of guys with rather "involved" studio setups....there are some here with exceptional recording digs, and pro intentions, some even do recording on a commercial level in their "home studio"...so their "dollar" has a different focus than then 20-year old college student who just wants to mess around in his dorm room from time to time...but it's all good.

An idea might be for you to take a few days out and listen to some music of various contributors here if you find you like particular peoples' stuff, check out their rigs. You see, you've asked an almost impossible question. Most of us would probably recommend what we have and use. And the sheer volume and variation would in itself open up a can of worms.....

Of course if you're a millionaire, then that's a different story.
