Can't go wrong with Shimano shoes in my opinion.

I have a set of their winter boots and a set of their "summer" shoes (M123 I think.)

Just considering purchasing a set of either AM45, M162, XC50 or XC50N. All between 50 and 80 quid so not exactly expensive as far as bike shoes go!

+1 DHBs: good VFM but get torn up pretty easily and don't like the wet

+1 Shimano XC50N: more waterproof than the XC50, comfortable and generally pretty good all round - worth the £80-£100

Have a look at CRC's 'price drop' sale on high end Diadora's. Picked up some all-singing-all-dancing carbon disco-slippers for around £50 - very happy with them

Whatever the cheapest Shimano is at the time that has a ratchet on the top strap.
