55-gal drums cost around $5 which makes them "disposable" in the event (after
a few years use) of corrosion.  They have standard openings for plumbing your
pump.  Cradles are readily available and cheap and easy to make.  A suitable
trailer can be had used for [well?] under $100.  Anything beyond this will
turn on:  a) how much you value,  b) what you're willing to spend on ...
cosmetics.
