The Slik Pro 700 DX carbon fiber tripod at about $250 gets you a lot of tripod for your money. With the relatively long lenses you're talking about, I would definitely avoid ball heads and go with a good, sturdy three-way head like the Bogen 8047. That head is almost half the weight of the tripod, but you can really lock it down. If you can spend more, consider one of the stout Feisol tripods, like the 3372 Rapid.
