What is your opinion? I really want a bbq this summer but I am on a budget. They seem to be cheaper but was wondering if they are ok?

Charcoal/ Smoker all the way. Puts the tastes right on it lol

I love charcoal BBQs. Buy a bag of coal and lighter fluid

than a BBQ.  
 
just a heads up, the charcoal/briqette ones will start off very inexpensive, but by the time you get a good one you can buy an inexpensive propane model.  
 
if you go briquette, try the actual "charcoal" rather than the black briquette premolded which have a bunch of chemicals in it, and if the coals are not all completely white when you put your meat on it will taste it.  
I tried the self light type one time, i really did not like them.  
 
try the charcoal that is made out of actual wood that is heat charred. bit more money but better flavour and no chemicals. and get a chimney style lighter that you fill with paper rather a bottle lighter fluid.  
 
takes time so a little patience,
