Suggestions at various sizes and various price ranges would be greatly appreciated.
Hello Jeremy,
I am in the safe industry and my buddy actually told me about your question. It is tough to nail on the head what the best "home safes" are because each individual has different security needs. However, make no mistake about it, as a homeowner, you want to get yourself a safe that will protect against burglary and fire, not just one or the other.
If you are on a real tight budget, you should get these microwave safes made by Gardall. http://www.lackasafe.com/categories/fire-safes
If you are looking to be economical but want the best of the economical bracket, there are these Enforcer Home Safes made by Original (a high security company) that are absolutely fantastic.

On www.lackasafe.com, you will pretty much be able to find whatever you need. We are an elite safe specialists company. There are a few companies like us sprinkled around the country. A few more that are good are www.accusafes.com, www.deansafe.com, and www.cesafes.com.
I hope this information helps you along your way. If you only need fire protection and are not worried about theft, you can settle for the big box stores' safes. But don't expect them to keep a burglar out!
Meant to say call 'their' gun department, not 'there.' I wish this thing had grammar/spell check!
Depending on what you want, you can spend as little as $20 for a good fire safe (which is what I have. I keep important documents and other valuables in it. That said, its not a wall safe or for guns or anything.
Sentry makes a bunch of stuff and their products are a good place to start
