it depends on how u look at it. some couples find that they will be wearing their wedding bands on a daily basis and thus worry about scratches etc.
may not want to get something too expensive.
personally, we bought a pair of wedding bands from goldheart, simple design, not very costly. less than 2K.
initially, we too thought that wedding bands are to last a lifetime. but due to drop in ring sizes. we recently jus upgraded our wedding bands for something we like, more expensive.
to us, even thought first band have it's significance, it's the vows we exchange and the love we have that meant a lot more.
Just pick something that both yourself and your SO like and feel comfortable with rather that allow the vast choices of brands/design bog you down.
