Appleton White is $8-$10 for a 750 and its better than Bacardi.

Bacardi Select is an OK stand in for Myers (or other dark rums). It is about $21 a handle (1.75 L).

Cruzan dark would be my choice for an amber rum. Pretty good and about $20 a handle.

Find a good liquor store that passes distributor sales on to you. Distributors (if you're in a state that allows them) sometimes have inventory they want to dump, and they discount this a lot. Then just troll the liquor store once a week or so, and you'll see some stuff get marked down. I've seen Pyrat White rum for $7, Pyrat XO for $18, and some other stuff for 25%-50% off.
