IMO you cannot go wrong with Batson's blanks! They have multiple qualities at various price points. Many of the sponsors at left carry their product line.

I personally fish them and build them for clients.

I would recommend you call Johhny at Angler's Roost. He does not have a website, but has great graphite blanks at very good prices.
His e-mail is Jksanglersroost@aol.com and his phone number is 716-565-9838 . Let him know you are from the Rod Board.

Try the bargain cave on Cabela's website.
Under fly fishing tackle craft
I've found some excellent blanks as low as $15
Many under $30
I've built on the traditionals, IM7, PT+,SLI.
Also have the Fenwick HMG at reasonable prices.
Haven't been disappointed.
