Free to play hunter will always be one of the best cheap decks. Most of hunters best cards are very low in rarity, especially Savannah Highmane. If you like early to midrange decks for cheap, hunter is the way to go.

Quest Warrior is very expensive. While it is a great deck, it's better for tournaments than actually climbing the ladder.

The better ladder decks at the moment are:

Fast Decks: Aggro Druid, Token Shaman, Pirate Warrior
Mid Range: Midrange Paladin, Secret Mage
Slow Decks: Control Mage, Control Paladin, maybe Taunt Warrior
Combo Decks: Quest/Miracle Rogue, maybe Purify Priest.
