if you are looking for cheap, try 36" to 42" of #4 or #5 (1/2" or 5/8" steel rebar used to reinforce concrete. It has ridges to gripe the concrete making easy to hold at any part of the length. Paint black (harder to see plus prevents rust). Get two, one for each hand. Even if a bad guy catches one in his hand odds are you will break whatever it hits. Drop low and counter with the other one going low, knees, back of the calves, ankles, etc.
Hide several around the house, giving easy access.
Next step up in expense would be a taser, the bark here, bite over there kind that also have the duel role of working by close contact if you miss or there is a second intruder. Like the Taser C2. http://www.taser.com/
Ultimately, if none of the above meets the need for what you want, retreat to a closed door, low light panic room. Identify the intruder as not being a friendly, use a 12 ga with #1 buckshot.
Having some type of warning system in your home is likely the most important thing. BG tend to try to sneak in. Know they are there is the first line of defense. A well lighted exterior, locked windows and doors, aluminum drink cans 1/4 full of pebbles, with monofilament line stretched between them at windows or in halls.
The Christmas movie "Home Alone" shows just how ingenious and cheap, using our minds for defense can be.
