I would say the number one determining factor is your own ears. Make a trip to the shop and if you can get a great sound out of a cheaper pedal, than by all means go for it. There absolutely is a lot of cork sniffing and/or snake oil salesmanship in guitar pedal markets, and you'd be shocked at what some of the cheaper pedals are able to achieve through a good amp.
I definitely second this, I've had and played some expensive pedals that sounded a lot worse than my more cheaper pedals. Regarding wah pedals I was lucky to get my younger brothers Kirk Hammett signature one when he gave up on playing so can't complain
