Looking for the best recruiting websites available. These seem to have a large range in price and I'm curious which ones are the preferred services. Which are considered the most legit and used by most college coaches.

You are assuming something that is not in evidence. That being, that college coaches use recruiting websites, which I don't believe they do. At least not to discover potential recruits. I'm sure they use them to find out more about a recruit they've heard about or been steered to already, but then, wouldn't all recruiting services be the same at that point?
I agree 100%. The coaches do not use the systems, the prospects do. Whatever system a player utilizes will work if the coach is looking for the traits that the player posesses.
This site supplemented by showcase and summer team exposure is the first step.
Next, I would focus on a site like getmynameout.com, or berecruited.com. These sites offer you a complete e-mail contact system to all colleges in the nation, allowing you to send a link of your player profile along with a video link. It also allows you to easily inform prospective programs you are interested in an opportunity to know what events you will be at.
We actually had a number of opportunities open up that did not previously exist because of these inexpensive and efficient sites.

I also agree with floridafan. These are really systems designed for parents and players. My son used Be Recruited as a site to organize his contacts, obtain information about coaches and schools and to make initial contact with coaches. It was a great bargain given the $65.00 we paid for the upgraded program.
It is one of many things a player has to do to get recruited. No matter how good a player looks on paper or on a web page, coaches still want to actually see them perform, usually more than once.
HSBBW is also an outstanding resource and source of support.
Go Army! Beat everyone!
