Well, the bagless is the way to go. I need a vacuum as well, and am on a tight budget. If you get it, report back!!
My girlfriends got a hoover. She uses it in my apartment all the time. Inhales everything you put in front of it.

it looks a lot like a dirt devil, which i would stay away from, however, sears does generally have pretty decent vacuums....
Hoover is pretty much the best brand to buy, i sell vacuums among other things at work, and hoovers seldom come back unless there was a particular model that was recalled or defective. hoovers also have just about the best suction and filtration.
as for the bagless; in higher end vacs, the cleaning performance is about equal with or without a bag, but in the really cheap vacs (sub $60) getting bagless can often be a mistake, because there really aren't many dollars spent on R&D for cheap vacs.

Most bagless require you to change the filters every so often, which can cost more than the bags do. Check it out.
The best vacuum that I have ever used is the Rainbow. I bought mine at an estate sale. They can be had on eBay.
They last forever and parts are avalible.
They use water in a centrifuge kind of action to filter out dust, pollen, hair & grit. I add a tbls of Lysol to the water so the exhaust air is "nice" and just about hepa filter clean.
The hassel is dumping the water thru a strainer and throwing the gunk away. But the advantage of that is finding
coins, ear rings and small parts I have dropped.

Ours was several years old and had been used hard the whole time. It would have made it several more years if I hadn't used it during remodelling for picking up drywall dust. DOH. I was lucky that it put up with that for six months of construction.
