HDMI cables do not need to be expensive and some of the most expensive can be purchased for huge discounts when on sale. If you do consider $20-35 expensive then you should also consider the whole 1080P system expensive, which it is when compared with the older 480i standard system and even the 720P / 1080i systems.

What kind of HDMI cable would you need for a Toshiba laptop and a vizio HDTV?

Any HDMI cable that has an HDMI logo will work. All HDMI products need to be tested and licensed by the HDMI organization. If a cable passes the test, it works. If HDMI cables work, they work as well as ANY other HDMI cable. The digital nature of the signal means that high cost cables do not deliver a better quality image than low cost cables. So, select the lowest cost cable in the store - it will be every bit as good as the most expensive.
