I personally recommend the Monoprice printers. I had one of their Maker Select printers for several months until the bearings started failing. Long story short, not only did they send me a replacement printer (free of charge) I didn't have to pay to ship the old one back, and the printer they sent was a model newer.

The Wanhao i3/ Maker Select/ Cocoon Create (they're just re-brands of the exact same printer) is quickly becoming one of the most popular and sought out hobbyist printers.

Printrbot's line is another great option, but you will have to pay a bit more. (especially if you want a heated bed)
I'll have a change to play with the play, simple, and plus when our meetings start back up on Saturday.
