If you want the best, get something with Gore Tex, preferably an Arcteryx. I have the Beta AR and it is insanely well constructed. Mammut/RAB are really nice as well.

If you want a 100 dollar rain jacket that works most of the time, get a Patagonia Torrentshell or Marmot Precip.

This is what I was looking for. I don't work at Niagara Falls. I just need something for hiking, tailgating, walking to my car...

This is simply not true anymore. Gore Tex is no better or worse than Patagonia's H2NO, TNF's HyVent or any of the others. In fact, it's the exact same thing, but you will pay more for the Gore Tex label. The only waterproof breathable membrane that is truly superior is eVent because it can still breathe while wet, where the others can't.
