 I can hold on to a pair of gas station shades for a couple years or so. Anything more than $25 and they're lost or scratched or sat on within a month.

Oakley X10. I love them. I find that I tend to be careful with nicer ones
The cheaper ones I was always loosing and didn't give a crud about.
Polarized are the way to go.

I am finding myself in need of new shades. I have always bought cheap $20-25 sets but beings I now drive for a living I am wondering if there is a benefit to spending the money for the higher end ones. (Native, Oakley, WileyX, etc.) Has anyone really noticed a difference or is it just the name your paying for?   

Yes! Go to your local optician and buy quality, not "name".

Definitely worth having good sunglasses. The difference after a long day and when driving is like cheap binocs vs quality. I bought some Maui Jim's in 2008 and I've found when you have good ones you tend to take care of them and not leave em laying around to get lost. Polarized is a must in my book and is irreplaceable on the water.  Lens material is a consideration as well. My Maui Jim's have a glass/Pyrex type material that's very scratch resistant and which helps especially around salt water. They do weigh a little more, but not enough to matter.  Try several types on, I like oaklys, but they don't fit me well. I've been thinking of picking up either a different style of Maui's or Costa Del Mar.  Find some you like, fit well and don't look back. You won't regret it

 :)good sun glasses are a great buy and useful, just as important as a good scope. I like Panoptix.

That's where I get my sunglasses too. 

I'm tough on glasses.  I can keep a pair of those until they fall apart but buy a $100 pair and I lose them, drop and break them, scratch the heck out of the lenses etc.

I've had a set of Serengeti for years. I've had the frames replaced by Corning and it was very reasonable. The glasses are incredible.

  Same here, cheapos last forever and pricey ones done in a week or two! Doc says the cheapies and the scratched up cheapo safety glasses at work are very hard on the eyes. Guess I'll splurge, maybe spend more than the usual $4.99!!!

4 bucks at Walmart. Polarized. Buy lots of extras at that price.

[huntandjeep]

Can't go wrong with Oakley, I've had at least 10 different styles of theres and I was just looking at a  pair of there camo Flak Jackets at Cabela's today

[carvermoe]

Maui Jims hands down.You will take of a more quality set much better.Worth every cent. Clear,no distortion,no eye strain.and you forget you are wearing them

[wariner87]

Oakley all day , baby !!! Battle tested  , soldier approved.

My first set of Maui Jim's lasted me 8 years, going on year 5 for my current set. They are AWESOME and yes there is a HUGE difference. I will say that you should shop around. If you are a Government Worker (or veteran) check out GOVX they are awesome. If you are a Vet or in Public Safety check out the oakley Stand Issue site (glasses are considerably cheaper). My only issue is that my Maui Jim's take a beating in the back of a Fire Truck, so I am actually in the market for a set of oakley's for work only.

spend $300 bucks on a pai of sunglasses, and you will be SHOCKED how long they last and how you never seem to lose them!
