What's everyone's opinion on who makes the best playing cards? I want a set or two of really good, firm cards to use for home games when a couple friends get together and play. Who makes the best and what is a general price to have in a good set of cards.

Here are some of the suggestions from members:
Copag - Recommended by most players! Made from 100% PVC plastic, the life expectancy of Copags is 20-50x longer than paper playing cards.
Modiano Cristallo - Modiano cards are 100% plastic, but also textured for better handling.
KEM - Made with 100% cellulose acetate plastic for better flexibility and shape retention.
Gemaco - Paper or plastic stock. A casino standard (just ask Phil Ivey).
NTP - Made by the Italian company Dal Negro, NTP cards are 100% PVC plastic and textured.
DA VINCI - Made in Italy, Da Vinci cards are 100% plastic.
Bicycle- Plastic coated paper cards made by the US Playing Card Company. An economical choice for an informal poker game.
Bee - Another low-cost home-game standard, these cards by the US Playing Card Company are also plastic coated paper.
Fournier - Manufactured in Vitorio, Spain, and now owned by the US Playing Card Company, these cards are 100% plastic.
