Seriously, whatever I can get at Salvation Army or Goodwill. They're like $5 and there are literally hundreds of pairs which have already been preshrunk so I KNOW they'll fit after washing. Most of them are in perfect shape or have the casually worn look. You can't go wrong for $5 either.
Whatever fits. I'm not willing to spend big bucks on jeans, so my favorite way to shop for them is to go to Platos Closet (or other higher end used clothing stores) and look through the designer jeans rack, looking first and foremost at the hems to see which ones are longest. Designer jeans tend to be longer than standard brands, which is how I have several pairs of 7 for all mankind jeans at about $40 bucks a pop.
For me, mainly Armani. They just fit great and are very flattering on me. To UE's point, I do have to hem them every single time though, being 5'4.5! I also have a couple CKs. Granted, with 'trendy' jeans (for example my colored skinnies or the 'destroyed' look), I'll buy cheaper... I know I won't be wearing them as long and don't want to shell out as much.
Most of my collection consists of Lucky Brand, Buffalo, and Michael Kors; but I have a couple Levi's and my overall collection ranges from non-specific brands to Hudson. I like having nicer jeans for the designs and fit, but others that I won't care if I ruin, or are otherwise non-descript.
FWIW, I'm not a jean snob. I have yet to pay more than $80 on a pair, and average around $30-35. Even my Hudsons were clearance.
