I currently am using a crappy cheap aluminum case and wanted to get a new one. My two options are the NZXT for $30 or the Antec 300 for $50. Which one is better value?

Antec 300, no question. The 300 is a really good case with good cooling and a solid design. Pick up the Illusion model if you can find one. Otherwise buy two 120mm fans for the front and install them as intake fans. The Illusion comes with 2 front blue led intake fans a top 140mm exhaust and a rear 120mm exhaust fan. The base model comes with top and rear fans only.

The Illusions extra fans are worth the addl' 10$ IMO
 
Yeah I have the Antec 300 , awesome cooling for the price.

If it was me I'd get the base model and buy some quiet 120mm fans like Enermax or Scythe Slipstream because the Antec Tri-speeds aren't the quietest. But you get them for $10 so it is a good deal.
