I too would recommend the Mares Avanti X-3's. I've had several kinds of Caddis fins, a set of Force Fins, two sets of Creek Company fins, and several models of cheap dive fins. For me the Mares were the best. Comfortable, easy on and off, powerful. As I recall I think I paid around $60. I've seen them for less than that since.
Yes, there are other good ones out there, and I'm sure you'll have plenty or recommendations. I suggest that you find another tuber and borrow a pair or two so that you have something to compare with.
Do some research and get good ones from the beginning since you have the money to spend. Otherwise you'll end up going though several pairs before finding what you want.
Be sure to take your waders and/or booties along when you try them on so you will get the right size.
