Best crank for the money

Looking to build up a commuter and have narrowed it down to a couple steel frames (something from Soma, maybe a Gunnar). Anyway, I'm keeping an eye out for good prices on a crank for said build and not sure what to consider. I have a Rival group (force crank) one my caad and love it, and was thinking a Rival crank would be a good option but they are a bit pricey still. Have heard mixed reviews on some FSA cranks and the Sram Apex. Anyone have experience with these? What else might should I be considering? Something around $100 (new or lightly used) would be great but for something really worthwhile I'd bump that up to the $150 range. Rival cranks are closer to $200 and not sure that's worthwhile. Thanks.

Oh, looking for 175-180 length and compact 50/34.
