I just did my first batch a few weeks ago and should be ready for bottling. My friends all use ez top bottles (like the ones from howe sound brewery or grolsch) and have been doing it for a while. Their beers all taste pretty good and they just brewed a new one with earl grey tea. Can't wait to try it!
As far as it being cheap or not, it all depends how you want to do it. My basic equipment wasn't too expensive and if you're doing it at the u brew place, they probably supply everything as well. But if you get more into it and do it at home, you'll end up spending a lot on more sophisticated equipment. The ingredients are generally cheap and as long as you're following good recipes with good ingredients and keeping everything well sanitized, it should be pretty hard to make a bad batch.
I say definitely give it a shot. It's fun, you'll get to learn more about beer and hopefully it'll get you away from Old Milwaukee.
