Quite honestly, whatever headphone you end up with for the long term. My Grado's have been with me for about 8 years now, or about $12/yr., much less then I was spending on earbuds in high school. People who have been happy with their HD580's for ten years are also in this category, despite the huge $200 pricepoint.
To those people who buy new and sell a month later, I love you for it, but your wallet is crying.
For initial value, have to add my vote to the SR-60's. You'll love them or hate them, but if you love them the value is insane. You can find used MS1's up to SR-125's (if you are lucky) at this pricepoint as well.
Buying used offers up insane deals deals in audio. Headphone depreciation makes new cars look like a solid investment.
