What are the best deals on driveway gates for homes?

I have recently been looking for a driveway gates as we are considering improving the frontage of our house, and I never noticed the huge price variance until I researched online. Some local suppliers are charging high prices for fairly basic sliding gates, but online marketplaces like Alibaba and Amazon offer cheaper-looking alternatives that are more appealing. I am working to determine where people get the best value without compromising lifespan. I have only seen aluminum, steel, and some composite-style gates, but reviews seem to vary by brand and installer. I have also seen a few automatic gate kits which would be convenient, but I am unsure whether you get what you pay for with the cheaper motors. For now, I'm leaning toward a more modern, simpler, and less decorative style. Mainly want something that is safe but doesn't look cluttered from the street. Which type or brand of it do the residents here who recently installed seem to have gotten the best overall deal from?
