Remember, cheap isn't always better. If it's a felt hat, the cheap ones are shitty and cheesy; a good one will run you over $100 (or plus, depending how good you want).
Straw is stiff; I love palm hats, they are flexible (my kids wear them, and they pop back into shape easily) and they can be new for under $50--this one is my favorite, called the Caroline Too:
