I think it depends where you live:
UK - Cheddar
Greece - Feta
France - Goat's cheese, camembert or brie
Italy - Mozzarella or parmesan
USA - Monterey Jack (or that nasty Velveeta processed stuff)
Holland - Edam and gouda

many good ones - read the label and make sure the ingredient is milk. Not dried nonfat milk with milkfat and vegetable oils and any other things. Nonfat cheeses are OK for a diet but have NO real taste so they have to have additives. They are not OK for cooking, or grilling (grilled cheese).
Cheeses can be milk and or cream, cheese cultures and salt. If the label has other things - you are being RIPPED off.
It is like butter VS. margarine. Hydrogenated margarine's rank #1 on the most dangerous foods in the world list and only have 2 calories per tablespoon less than butter. Butter is cream and salt. that's it. No other thing.
Sour cream is cream and starter culture and salt.
Daisy is the only brand of sour cream. All other contain milk as the basic ingredient. Milk does not magically turn to cream. Breakstone is America's most bought and famous brand and their sour cream is not made with cream and tastes like it isn't. They use milk ???
So - the answer you seek is yes - you are looking for what the label says and many good cheeses are cheap.
And the ones at fast food are often made of whipped oil, coloring, and flavoring, They have no relation to cheese. When they say "Do you want cheese with that " LOL

For all purpose use, it's got to be cheddar. Mild to extra sharp according to your taste, it's all good.
For a taste treat eaten plain with saltines;
Saga Blue- a brie like base with Roquefort.
Emmental- a nuttier and more flavorful version of Swiss
A good tip for getting fancy cheeses on the cheap. Make friends with the manager of a full service deli which sells a lot of cheese.
Gush over the variety and explain that you would like to try them all but can't afford to. Show you are really interested in learning more about cheese. Then ask if they have any cheese rinds that they are throwing away. Offer to pay a minimal price for them. Often you will get very good ends of a wheel for next to nothing. With a paring knife you can make a fantastic plate and if you keep the flattery up, the manager might save the rind bits for you in the future.

Monterrey Jack and a fresh one like the ones we use in Mexico like panela, colby it's excellent to make an omelet or a quesadilla, you only must have corn or flour tortillas and there you have it, a quick meal with an everyday cheese = )

Of course it has to be Cheddar, you can buy such a verity of it now and even the cheep stuff from sainsbury's is OK. I don't care what any says however, Monterey Jack is not real cheese.

Provelone from the deli if you can afford it. Mozzerella is sometimes a bit cheaper and its still pretty awsome. But the best cheese in the world for just baking and cooking is ricotta. good in cannoilis, ravioli, lasianga, and just good with fruit like cotage chese exept not nasty.
