Not the cheapest replacements, but probably the best:

Here's a bunch from Stewart MacDonald:

There are a lot of other options out there too... Tonepros are interesting, but I'm not sure if they're "best".

Callaham has a new ABR-1 bridge made of billet steel that lots of people are raving about:

Pigtail makes probably the most accurate to '50s specs - beautifully machined with the exact same materials used in the '50s:

Many people like the Faber bridges:

There are others out there too, but these are the most popular ones over at the Les Paul Forum. I have the Pigtail on my R8 and it's really nice. I'm thinking of trying the Callaham based on the rave reviews I've seen.
