Sony Vegas has been my favorite since before Sony bought it. (Sonic Foundry, ftw!)

Vegas Studio Platinum is typically less than $100 and gives you nearly pro level features and the ability to burn DVDs and Blu-ray discs. Vegas Pro (and DVD Architect) are more full-featured and have been used to edit Hollywood movies and TV shows (ever hear of "Friends"?).

MoviePlus X5, from the company I work for, Serif is well worth consideration. At $79.99 it's very powerful for the money and one of few video editors to utilise smart 'proxy' processing when editing HD footage. MoviePlus X5 offers the ability to add unlimited tracks to the timeline plus has advanced blend modes and layers groups - no other video editing software offers these features at this price point.
