As Dave noted, yes, buy the best quality you can afford. Aside from being able to recover most of your investment (if need be), quality makes a difference in the action of the airbrush and the results you'll achieve.

When I was in school and money was at a premium, I'd go to Utrech's and buy their house brand watercolor paint tubes for $.50 to $1.00 a tube. It worked OK and got the job done.
However, when I started buying Windsor-Newton watercolors, man, there was a big difference. It broke down easier in water, went on much cleaner and smoother and flowed beautifully...gives me goosebumps thinking about it. Might not have improved the composition, but the finish of the pieces was improved.
