Well, if you want to take up a vice, you probably should avoid the ugly ones like smoking or gambling - you can have much safer fun with things like kinky strapon... oh, you mean viSe, not vice!
Most of the chinese imports aren't that bad, and are certainly adequate for most home garages - a quick look around your local harbor freight, tractor supply, or similar should let you see what options they have and what the quality is.
I personally like the type that can be rotated, for clamping objects vertically, like http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?Itemnumber=5655 - being able to work on parts at any position makes your life much easier!
