I am starting to sound like the coffee guys here, but like I said, IMO a department store cue (like a Coors Light or Pot leaf cue from Sports Authority or whatever) is not going to be too much of a step up over a house cue maybe even a step down depending on where you are playing.
Some brands to look at:
McDerrmott (I'm baised)
Meucci (very pricey)
Lucasi
Viking
Schon
Predator
CueTech (I had one of the composite shaft ones and hated it, some guys swear by it. They make traditional wooden shafts as well).
Edit - be careful with the cuetechs though, I think they pretty much have two seperate lines, one for department stores and one line for real billiard shops.
