Yamaha and Fox are the dependable brands in "cheap" instruments.
STAY AWAY from Bundy and Linton - seriously, run like it were a cyclone!!!
Peter Hurd was mentioned (oboes.us) and Hanna's Oboes is another fantastic place (http://www.hannahsoboes.com/).
The advantage of these 2 is that they really take quality repair work to heart: the instrument you get from them will be in excellent condition or better! There may be others with the same traits, but I don't know them off hand.
Don't shy away from plastic oboes, they can sound equally well and they will withstand more weathering! My Lorée with plastic top-joint has served me faithfully for 25+ years!
