Recommend your cast-iron dutch oven!

My mom would really like one, so I'm going to get her one for Christmas. I have a budget of under $100, ideally under $75. I'd like 6qt., so even with looking for steals at Homegoods, etc. for Le Creuset, I know they are out of the question as the best deals I've found are over $100...

Any other recs? How's the Martha Stewart one since they changes the handle defect?

I've heard that Lodge is the best bang for your buck and actually performs much better than a lot of the other brands.

I have several Lodge pieces. I love my Dutch oven so much I bought a second.

GOod to know! I don't LOVE the shape (wish the bottom was wider on their 6 qt) or their colors as much, but their price and recs I guess have sold me!
