I've used the good ones and the used the cheap ones. I'm hard on them. Maui Jim, Ray Ban , and Vuarnet seem to be durable in that it takes me longer to bend the frames or script the lens. Ray Ban aviators last me the longest since the arms can be replaced.
The $10-15 ones I look at as disposable, but when I'm coaching on the baseball diamond they work since the good ones get scratched from the dirt, stepped on in the batting cages etc.
I like polarized to cut the glare.
What works for you?
