I don't think cheap vs fancy makes a huge difference so much as the type of roller you are getting (density, firmness, texture). This is the one I have although I am pretty certain I did not pay nearly that much for it. I think I paid around $25 for it which was a fair price. It's a good quality roller. I've seen cheaper rollers that wont last very long (especially those styrofoam-looking ones) but those were also in commercial gyms so I suspect they were HEAVILY used and would fare much better in a home setting with only one or two people using it.
Figure out what kind of roller you like (soft vs firm, smooth vs textured) and find a reasonably priced one. I think paying more than $25 for a roller is silly especially if it's going to be kept at home where it would be hard to ruin it. The trigger point one I linked is a very hard/firm roller, which is what I like, but it's still overall flat (but it does have little nubs here and there which I like). I don't like the ones with really huge nubs, personally. I also don't like softer rollers with no texture at all. So I think the trigger point roller is a good roller for me--its firm enough that I can get some deep massaging in but it doesnt have the big spikey nubs which for me are painful.

You don't need a foam roller to do the above videos. It would help for your triceps though. I like this one - extra firm of course. good luck!
started off with a typical high-density foam roller, then moved on to a deep tissue roller (the ones with a PVC core). I gave the foam roller to my friend, Jess. At first, the deep tissue roller was painful at some points, almost made me watery eyed when I rollered over some knots on my leg. But I'm getting accustomed to it now. My friend Jess wanted to try my current deep tissue roller and she loves it.
I'm thinking maybe it's time for me to pass this down to her and get myself something firmer. What do fine people think?
I hear some of the bigger/bulkier people talk about using just a PVC pipe. I don't think I'm ready for that yet. Seems like the firm one that's advertised often is Trigger Point Grid X Roller .. but ouch that's expensive for 13" $50.
