Any steel sprocket will last way longer than an aluminum sprocket. However, wear is also determined by other factors than quality and material of the sprocket. If you use a worn chain or worn front sprocket...even a $100 Iron man sprocket will wear rather quickly. Chian maintanance, type of riding, and riding conditions all will affect sprocket life.
The above mentioned Z sprocket is a good choice. Personally, I've had a DID O-ring chain and JT steel sprockets on for about 1 year. It was about $120 for both sprockets and the chain. That's been around 1300 miles of ST. I've had to adjust the chain only once and they still look new.

Sidwinder Tri-Metal sprokets are about the coolest looking things around and last forever. They are listed in the DirtRider mag as a direct sale from the manufacturer for $79. A bit more than you wanted to spend, but they are great looking and run a long time. I've got well over 1000 miles on mine with a RK X-ring chain. Chain will need to be changed soon; maybe another 500 miles or so, I'd say. I posted thier phone # on a thread here somewhere. Try searching and if you can't find it, I'll try looking it up again. BTW, the KTM sprocket is an exact match to the KDX and the KX hubs.
