I will say my own experience with optics, granted it's mostly rifle optics, is to buy quality, and you buy once. Cheaper optics, even one considered fairly good, will often still fail under hard use.

I would not balk at spending $500-1000 on an optic, including a set of binoculars, it will be high quality glass, I won't have to worry about it breaking, and I will be able to pass it on to my children and grandchildren. I am not rich by any means, and a high quality optic might be a good chunk of a months pay, or more than that.
It's better to have it and not need it ...

10 or 12 x 50 is adequate, I got a decent waterproof pair of Bushnell for under $100.  You just gotta figure out what you want then shop around for the right price.  Be prepared to spend some cash if you want a pair to see the shit on a flies nose at 2000 yards. :))
