I'd recommend a used Phillips ToUcam 740 or 840 for about $100.
Its a color web cam that has given many people nice results.

If you had closer to $1000 to spend, I'd suggest a Lumenera
SKYnyx 2-0 monochrome, a filter wheel, and filter set.

Also look around the forums and see what takes pictures
you like.
