Cheapest way will be soft line LOL. Such 40 PVC is not expensive, but the fittings will add up, especially valves.
Yea I seen ball valves and unions were $10+
Economy valves can save money up front, but true union valves will save you time and money down the line. The plus side to flex is the need for unions goes away. Valves are still helpful though.

What size tank are you plumbing? IMO, unless you are running a full siphon drain, you do not "need" a single valve in your system. You could get away with only two unions if you position them correctly.
On my old 40B, I had non collapsible tubing for the drain and dual 3/4" returns. Probably had more money in various nipples and adapters than I did in pipe costs.
Bigger sizes like 1-1/2" is where the fitting costs are considerably more as Chris stated above.

I am building a 45cube with single return and overflow. Sump is a 15 or 20 gal elos sump, going to make a 5 gal refugium
