The best cheap iron is a Metcal PS900. You can look for Metcal MX units on ebay which tend to go for not much. They can switch from soldering 0402 parts to nuts onto bolts without changing the tips or damaging anything:

I picked up an older RFG-30 with handle for $80 USD off ebay about 2-3 yrs ago. An old friend of mine still has his original metcal PS2e from something like the 80s or 90s and it runs like a tank.
