Lorica hamata ring type

well, you have to take into account what 'cheap' means. I have the impression that we cannot put our modern view of value onto items. Nowadays, 'hours' count for most part in the price of a mail shirt, where I think that in ancient times most part was determined by its materials, less by the amount of work.

Well, I think your hamata will do, and lot of groups allow butted mail in their groups, but well, last couple of years riveted mail came available at a very good price, so some groups now prefer that one, as we simply have lots of evidence for riveted mail shirts.

Of course it always will be what you can afford, would like to pay, etc. Secondly it also differ from area to area how people view fact like this, I get the impression.
