The Ozark instruments can be nice quality at a good price. I've got a couple of banjos, a 5-string Epiphone and a Gold Tone EBT 5-string solid body electric. The Gold Tone was from Andy Banjo (as was my acoustic mandolin) and he's a very genuine helpful guy who doesn't charge silly prices. A rare thing! Ask him for advice, you will get good info and he may have something off the shelf for you as well.
Noticed the bass banjo posts here - my previous band supported Abigail Washburn a year or two ago and she has a very low register 5 string for clawhammer style. Sounds amazing!
