This Victoria (Corona) Grain Mill with high hopper has been working fine for me, but if you can splurge get a double roller one. I picked mine up at my LHBS for about $50.
Many of us use the corona style mill (the same one that CHarlie Papazian gets 87% efficiency with) that can range anywhere from 15-40 dollars, and can be easily tweaked. We have a big thread on it here. https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f51/my-ugly-junk-corona-mill-station-90849/
Another option is the modded 20 dollar pasta machine from Michael's Arts and Crafts, plenty of folks are getting great efficiencies with them as well. There is a great thread about that here as well. https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f11/using-pasta-maker-mill-grain-75784/

I run 12 gallon grain bills through my Corona mill. I do use a heavy-duty drill to power it, though.

Here is a mill for $89 shipped..
Homebrew Finds: Grain Mill - now $89 Shipped!
7 lb hopper made of anodized aluminum, hardened steel rollers, works with a drill or hand crank, base and 6 month warranty. These look very similar to the barley crusher.
$89 shipped is the best deal I've ever seen on a mill. It's my understanding that the price will go up by $10 when this moves from pre-order to in stock. $99 is still a great deal.

Yeah, I've run 20 pound grainbills through mine with a drill. The grainbill size doesn't really matter, no more than any other grainmill.
