We are looking for a glider/rocker that has padded arms and possibly an ottoman (not a deal breaker) and I feel like the options are limitless! Please share any recommendations or even do not buy stories!
Pictures or links would be greatly appreciated

I have a Storkcraft Glider & Ottoman; I believe it was under $150. Love it! M is 12.5 months and still doing great.
I'll post a link later bc I'm on my phone.

I ordered a dutalier from bbb that was $380 after 10% coupon, and included ottoman. You can sometimes find it a little cheaper on amazon wo the ottoman.
Can you go to a bbb or bru and sit on them? That was Important for me.

@Foodnerd81: Yeah, I will have to try that. We were going to get a recliner/glider that was $600 but our back steps are falling apart and we have to fix that before someone gets hurt.

@ladybee: How do you feel about used or refinishing one? I've heard of people finding great deals on Dutailier's from graigslist or even local mom-to-mom sales groups on FB at an amazing price, even FREE. If you can sew/paint you could easily recover/refinish one yourself. Might be something to look into.
You might also want to try any furniture stores in your area that might have a scratched/flawed or floor model for a cheaper price point? That is how DH got ours. He used to work for a baby furniture store many years ago (before we met, but his sister was expecting at the time) and they had a Dutailier that's ottoman stain didn't match the chair and they were going going to toss the set, so he got the entire thing for free! It was never used by SIL and basically brand new when I had DS. I only recently noticed that the ottoman doesn't match so the difference is very minor.

We have this one:
http://www.amazon.com/Stork-Craft-Glider-Ottoman-Cherry/dp/B0031QPN5C/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1369005314&sr=8-3&keywords=glider
It is stork craft like pps have suggested. We got it as a registry gift but on amazon right now it is $130-170 depending on your color options. It has an ottoman. It has worked well for us--i still nurse in it all the time and LO is 17 months.
The one caveat I would say is if you are tall you might want to look at some other options. I am very tall (6'0") and my head is taller than the top of the cushion. I did not think this mattered until I ended up holding LO in the middle of the night so we could both sleep on some rough nights and had to improvise some way to support my head to avoid neck cramps! Good luck!
