Looking to get one soon. I shoot with a nikon D300 and normally an SB 800 external flash.
Any suggestions or plugs for a good, sturdy bracket?

I use the Stroboframe Camera-flip with both a D700 and a D300. It's fine for what I use it for - events mainly - since I like to flip the camera vs manipulating the flash. You use it with an SC-cord, 17, 28 or 29. Sturdy, but not too heavy, a bit bulky, and it's relatively affordable vs the Custom Bracket or RRS or other $300 brackets.

Yes, the variation in pricing kind of weirded me out, since I know very little about what brackets are best.

I use one I made myself, but similar to the Demb Flash Bracket. I also like the Flash Frame Flash Flip VF, and my Custom Bracket EV. You will find that flash brackets are a personal thing. I'd recommend either trying them out with everything you put on it, on it, or buying from a place you can return items to. Realize that a flash bracket affects how you use modifiers and whether you use a vertical grip/battery pack.

None. Don't like 'em. Don't need 'em.

I don't use flash bracket and dot see any use for them unless you want to shoot with direct flash.I shoot with two cameras both fitted with vertical grips- one with 24-70mm 2.8 L and another with 70-200mm F4 L IS,and using flash brackets with two cameras will not be an easy feat.
Also, indoors, since I dont use direct flash and prefer bouncing and even if that is not possible, i use a bounce card, so i dont feel bracket is of any use to someone who does not use direct flash.
Cheers!

What Steve said. We hand hold our flash while another is on a tripod, using an infared transmitter or radio poppers (I don't like pocket wizards).

I use a Newton Bracket. It's tiny and light, and folds up small enough to fit in my pocket. The camera is held as usual, and the flash rotates around it. I prefer to use off camera flash when I can, or I'm bouncing the flash; I almost never use direct flash. The Newton bracket allows me to aim the flash anywhere I want while orienting the camera anyway I want. It offers many more direction options than relying just on the tilt/swivel of the flash. I find it very handy when using the Canon ST-E2 remote, as it allows me to aim the remote directly at the flash (I prefer Pocket Wizards, but sometimes the ST-E2 is fast and convenient).
