If you want the best bend for the buck, I would say get the JD2 model 3 manual bender. You can relatively easily convert it to Hydro later, and they are common and make good bends.

Get tube from ME! 856-4100

Second the JD2, I had one for a couple years. Build your own stand and save a couple $$$$.

you can find plans on evil-bay for making your own hydro bender. there is a thread on pirate about them. from the pics ive seen and from what i've read, it doesn't look like that bad of an idea (maybe i'm wrong???). i might take this route...
