The stainless one at Costco is good, I use craftsman tools, but wont buy a box from them. Cobalt (Lowes) is made by Snap-On, and is really good. Used is the best way, check craigs list and pawn shops.

there are a shit load of quality tool boxes on Craigs List for 1/2-1/3 new price. the down side for the seller is they are not moving. up side for a buyer is they are not moving. i saw 1 go from $4500 down to $3K or best offer for a snap-on "boat" with tools
One more vote for Craftsman. Although I would recommend getting a set with the ball bearing drawer slides, they'll work better and last longer.
My other thought is to look at the tools you have and the way you want to store them, and find a box (or boxes) that work for that. There are all sorts of different drawer configurations, and what works for one person may not work well for another. I like my tools laid out in cutouts in sheets of foam so I can find them easily. I have a few drawers where they're sort of "lumped" together, but they're mostly the bigger tools that don't lend themselves to being laid out flat.

I am on my 2nd craftsman, my first I out grew so now it's my reloading chest. SAMS club has one made out of stainless steel at a reasonable price that I have coveted for a while.
