Ive got a direct hit pad (the mountain designs pad). In the sales they are often reduced to $199. I bought it when I first wanted to get into bouldering. It is relatively cheap compared to others and is not a bad pad if you are cruising about on your own. The pad it pretty basic but it does the trick. Most of the time you boulder with a few other people so you end up with more than one pad. I find whenever I am doing higher stuff of stuff with dodgey landings there are enough pads or you just skip it on that day.

I ended up picking up a madpad in China when I was there, it’s a better pad but it also had its disadvantages (way thick and slippery on the bottom). My vote is definitely the Drop Zone pads or the large tools pad.
