Hey, looking for some fuzz advice!

[Chumley]

First of all: I'd like to make it clear I neither own nor need a fuzz pedal.
Secondly, I'd like to make it VERY clear that I plan on geting one anyway. In the interest of selecting one, I've done much browsing, and I gotta say, I'm overwhelmed by options. So, unwashed internet masses, I turn to you: what is the best fuzz for $100 or less? My criteria are:
1) It's gotta be fun. I mean, Fuzz Faces sound great, but they're not FUN.
2) However, I'd also like to be able to get "playable" tones out of it.
3) I'm not a guitarist, so no restrictions based on style-noise oriented, metal, whatever.
4) The price range is unfortunately non-negotiable.

So... what do you guys think?

Devi disaster fuzz
fuzzhugger arc flash (bacon version obviously)

[Chumley]

I've considered the Disaster. Oscillation is great, but how does it sound more conventionally? For the AF, opposite question. How obnoxious can it get?

[Gunner Recall]

Devi soda meiser, preferably with a chaos switch for added um...chaos.

[metalmariachi]

SM, Aenima, and Hyperion, all usable in the mundane world and still capable of nasty stuff.

I think you've come to the wrong place.

I would recommend a DE Hyperion or DE Soda Meiser. In fact I would be willing to sell my Hyperion for $80 (price includes shipping). The Hyperion is a bit brighter sounding than the SM but makes excellent fuzz tones. For the exact one I have check out: http://www.analoguehaven.com/devieverusa/hyperion/

Devi's fuzzes put all others to shame, except I am very partial to my Wolf Computer, which is out of your price range, and is a different breed of fuzz!

Dr. Scientist Frazz Dazzler - actually use a 1 watt amp inside of it to make the fuzz
Stomp Under Foot Son of a Bee - just cool

[Chumley]

I love the Hyperion. Mannequin, I might have to take you up on that...
Does anyone have any good demos of the SM? I'm liking the sound of "chaos switch".
