Are the cheap end versions any good ?

Specifically I want to use them to detect studs behind plasterboard
(1930's house) so I can hang shelves, pics
etc.

I've got two stud detectors and I find them somewhat flakey on occassion.
Stanley is a decent brand, so maybe it's better.

Sometimes you can find the studs by looking at the skirting board. If its
fixed at regular intervals it's likely the studs are in the same place.
