Mizuno Wave Rider 14 or Asics Cumulus or Nimbus.
Need more information... do you know if you need stability or can you run in neutral shoes? How would you describe the shape of your foot and arch?
Adidas Tempo 4.

brooks ghost 3 or 4
dont be an ignorant runner when it comes to shoes. go to a running shoe specialty store where they watch you run and at least find out what range of support you should be in. EVERY SHOE IS THE PERFECT SHOE FOR A DIFFERENT PERSON. there is no one shoe that is better than all other shoes.

Harry Potter wears asics nimbus 2000.
Wave rider, I loved them, best shoe I ever wore.
I wear the Kinvaras now, but i'm not a serious runner anymore and I don't think they would be great for 80-100 a week.
Kinvara's are the bomb. Only problem is durability my first pair i got about 700 miles on my second pair only held up for 300. im on my third and want to try the nike streak xc 2. I would recommend the wave rider otherwise if your not into minimalism
Asics Sky Speed, I think it's my favorite shoe ever.

I hate when people tell me durability of a shoe is poor, when its just their shallow definition of durability. Just because you tore the mesh on the top of the shoe doesn't mean your shoe has reached its mileage limit. Run those bad boys until the rubber separates.

Nike Pegasus 27. Amazing shoe with plenty of protection that works equally well for heel and midfoot strikers. Ran everything from 5:00 - 8:00 pace in them and felt great. Highly recommended.
Agree with skyspeed. Light with good forefoot cush.

And take your current shoes with you to allow for a more accurate assessment.

Do NOT do this. These people are not experts and in most cases are dangerously ill-informed. I wish I had a dollar for every time a "running shoe specialist" put someone I know into bad shoes.

That means your friends haven't found the right one. From my own community I know some are better than others, so I won't defend every individual working in running stores.
Just out of curiosity Bandito what would you suggest is better. Reading Runners World? Talking to a few other runner's that have their own unique feet? Asking a troll ridden message board?
