Some are great bang-for-the-buck wise. The really cheap ones are crap.

AT 4041s are pretty good for OH. For LDCs 4040s are a great deal.
One 4040 and one 4050 would be a good combo. The 4040 is basically a cardioid-only 4050, so with one of each you could do stereo overheads, xy, ms, etc, for less $$.
The best cheap kik/tom mic is a used ATM25. The ATM250 is OK, but not as good.
