Last time I did a 70' Self supporter we used Rohn. Winncom was a lot cheaper than anyone else. I think there was only a couple hundred dollars shipping and maybe $500 in steel costs getting it preassembled instead of knocked down. I like the heavy Trylon (supertitan version) that is made out of real steel not rolled heavy gauge sheet metal. Nello makes a good tower but they are on the East coast so shipping usually keeps us West of the Mississippi guys from using them. To me, the best tower, not necessarily the cheapest, is Sabre. They seem to go together easier than any SS tower out there.
Honestly, when it comes to SS towers, I tend to go Sabre for the bigger stuff, SuperTitan for a lot of the smaller stuff. On smaller towers it really doesn't matter to me that much. Give them your heaviest anticipated loading, add a few sectors and dishes for growth, and let them engineer it and price it and see who wins. SS has a pretty high foundation cost component so the difference between one tower manufacturer and another is not going to be the big difference. When you compare costs just make sure that you are adding in all the same hardware like safety climbs and cable attachment hardware. That little stuff can add up.
