I am looking to supplement with extra magnesium for personal reasons as a medication I use depletes it.
I read magnesium tuarate is best, but it is also fairly pricey. I no oxide is garbage. Which forms are very effective in terms of absorption and are found for a decent price.
Thanks for any help!

If taking it before bed, then magnesium glycinate is probably best. The extra glycine will help relax you and provide for better sleep. If taking it during the day, then magnesium malate or citrate would probably be best. I've tried magnesium taurate and it works pretty well (I preferred taking it during the day because it actually seemed to make my sleep worse if taking it before bed) but the cost is higher and it's not as widely available as the other forms. Doctor's Best Magnesium (as muruku posted above) is one of the best (TRAACS) and cheapest magnesium glycinate products.

Based on a response provided by Doctor's Best, the lysine content is less than 10%. The bottle lists that 200 mg of magnesium is obtained from 2,000 mg of glycinate/lysinate. Based on that, 4 tablets (or 400 mg of elemental magnesium) should provide over 3 g of glycine; which I believe is the recommended amount to help with sleep issues.

it's a popular belief that magnesium oxide has piss poor bioavailability (~4% is commonly mentioned), but these numbers are typically based on studies using short term urine collection. a more sophisticated tests (plasma/RBC/bone magnesium) will show higher bioavailability and closer in range to other forms. advantages to magnesium oxide is that it is dirt cheap and has high density (require less pills)
in regards to albion labs, they have been under scrutiny for not labeling "magnesium oxide" in their chelated magnesium (glycinate) products. what happened was that albion offers variety of chelated magnesium specifications that include buffered version (combining oxide form with glycinate). of course the retailers are blaming albion saying they are simply following albion's labeling guidelines while albion is saying they have no control over how their customers label their products. whatever the case may be, you will see now that brands like bluebonnet and solgar list magnesium oxide in their magnesium glycinate chelate.
according to albion, doctor's best high absorption chelated magnesium is not buffered--meaning it contains no oxide form.i take it for granted that no hearer of mine will misinterpret what I have to say as the language of cynicism
