Angry DNA plasmid extraction kits

What bacterial DNA plasmid extraction kits do you guys recommend? I have used the roche kit for mini-prep and I don't think its the best. What do you think I should try next?

Default Qiagen Mini-prep

The new Qiagen Mini-preps that turn blue are great. I have used them and they are pretty neat at picking up bad mixing and clumping of cells (this helps you get more DNA I guess)...

however the price is pretty high per kit 100-200$.

I am not sure of anything cheaper. Biocompare usually has good comparisons of kits but sometimes does not show pricing of all items.

Lightbulb Re: DNA plasmid extraction kits

What about the brand Wizard? Any comments? Costs RM800+ for 250 preps compared to RM1500 for Qiagen.
