I run cheap Shift Enforcer knee guards. They are tough and have saved me plenty of times. For knee support I wear some ACE brand Level 1 knee supports (buddy uses the traditional ACE wraps for his knees and swears by it) even though I have never had issues with my knees. However, they do get a little sore after a long race or a full day of hard riding now that I'm 48 so I thought it wise to support them a bit. They have made a difference and my knee guard and support setup was under $50 total.
