What is considered cheap these days? I did some preliminary calling around for RoR firms and they're charging at least $50k. Most are around $100k-$150k for a v1.

Excellent question. I do plan to bring on a technical cofounder, but would that technical cofounder who most likely will become the CTO...really be the right person to code the guts of the site or would the be better used for architecting out entire systems and not concerned with what the language will be? I'm not quite sure, but it would be nice to have that person build the site I guess.

I just don't want to end up having to rewrite something 6 months down the line.
