The best shoes I've owned have been Saucony. They're very popular with the running crowd, and they make an indoor runner (well, many indoor runners) and a trail runner. I found them to be very comfortable; more so than Adidas, Reebok, or *gag* Nike. Of course, each shoe brand fits differently, so personal results may vary. Oh, I've also found them to be competitively priced, much to my joy.
For straight-line training (like treadmill running), definitely stick with running shoes, not cross trainers. Your heels and arches will love you for it.
