I just bought a new cressi ac10 regulator off e-bay for 160 bucks, 88 for the octo through leisure pro and 40 for the spg off of ebay. tested it all, tried it in the pool, works great, but breaths a little wet upside down.
Any ideas on a good, reasonable priced regulator?

What's the value in getting a reg environmentally sealed? Is this only necessary for cold water diving?

I am pretty sure that is the issue - but I hope someone with more knowledge will chime in.
That's the primary issue - also acts as safeguard against silt infiltration and salt buildup.
If there's any chance that you'll dive water below 45f, may as well buy an environmentally sealed regulator now, or at least one that has the option to add the kit later.

Sure looks nice but it's $500.
If you scroll down the main page a bit, you will find an entire section of this board devoted to equipment, and a section within that devoted to regulators. You will find a wealth of information there.

These have been getting rave revies from a number of my friends. They use them mainly for deep cold water diving so they should be good for just about anything you can throw at them. Hard to beat for the price.

Be forewarned that if you ask your LDS about these you will likely get a very unfavorable response (unless they're HOG dealers). Ask around to people who use themthough and you'll hear good things.

I would agree with several posters that a look @ the Edge/HOG regs would be worthwhile. Chris has worked hard to provide a very high quality regulator line at a very good price.
