Hi /u/Bakabc30

I'm sadly late to this party, but hopefully you'll still see this.

America's Test Kitchen did an equipment review video on dutch ovens about a year and a half ago.

Their best buy pick is comparable to Le Creuset in terms of a light-colored enamel (better to monitor browning & fond) and low straight sides, at a much lower price: the Cuisinart Chef's Classic model. They did note that the enamel didn't withstand their abuse testing as well as Le Creuset, but it doesn't affect its cooking performance.

In their detailed written equipment review (which requires a membership to access), ATK wasn't fond of the dark-coloured enamel that Staub uses, and the Lodge enameled models were the heaviest of the bunch, with flared sides that resulted in a narrower inside cooking surface.
