I've seen a couple free ones that were complete shit and some really expensive ones that were overdone. Any advice on what I should use?

Assuming you have Windows, Screencast-O-Matic might be of use. There's a free version that allows a max of 15 minutes of video. Not sure if you'd need more than 15 minutes though, that's the downside.

Actually, there's a way to do it through VLC media player and I believe you get an unlimited amount of recording time.

VLC Media Player Screen Recording
1) Open VLC media player.
2) Click on Media->Open Capture Device.
3) A new box will open. For Capture mode, select Desktop.
4) Set desired frame rate to 10.00 f/s.
5) Click on the arrow next to Play button below and then click on Convert.
6) A new box will appear.
7) Set whatever name you want to save your file as, but put the extension as .mp4 ( for example, AAA.mp4)
8) Then click on the settings symbol in the settings.
9) Again a new box will appear.
10) In that new box, click on Video Codec and change the Bit-rate to 2000 kb/s.
11) Then click on Save.
12) After that click on the Start button below and your recording will start.
13) Minimize VLC media player.

To stop recording close the VLC media player.
