I have a Houdini and I love it. In a light drizzle, wind, or even cooler temps it's awesome. I also use it when I go running in the cold and/or rain. Still gets sweat all over the inside when I run, but much more breathable than a rain jacket.Patagonia has a rain jacket called the Houdini that is super light (3.3 oz) but it's just water resistant and doesn't have taped seams. And it retails for $99.
I have had no issues with my Marmot Precip. The jacket is less expensive than many of the alternatives. After a few years of use with any rain jacket, you need to refresh the outside repellant coating.
Shoutout for Frogg Toggs. Durability is nill, but the price, weight, and breathability are all excellent. I just get a new pair at the beginning of each summer. Oh and cut the otherwise-useless pants into a rain skirt instead.
They breath fairly well. The pit zips help vent some moisture. I have the pants and love them after spending many days on the trail in the rain. A friend has the jacket and likes it. But...other more expensive jackets may let out more moisture.The fact that it doesn't breathe was a bigger issue.

I hear really good things about eVent but no direct experience.If you catch them on sale, the REI Rhyolite (eVent) series is a lot better for not much more money. That's my experience, anyway.
