I like DHB stuff and [url= http://www.wiggle.co.uk/jackets/?r=1084 ]Wiggle[/url] have a sale on at the moment.
Not sure there is such a thing as good & cheap for waterproof cycling jackets. The main issue is breathability. Boil in the bag is a major issue with many.
I have a Gore Bike Wear Oxygen GT Jacket which I like very much. Excellent cut / fit (skinny), waterproof (to a point, like all of them) and pretty breathable.
Also have an Alp-X Zip Off Jacket which is more versatile but less packable. Surprisingly waterproof considering it's Windstopper (Active Shell).
There are some waterproof race capes on eBay.
Given, you'll be riding like a man possessed which generates a lot of heat and sweat - a waterproof might not be what you should be looking for.
