I found these e-bay Nema17 Hybrid Stepper Motor DC12V 04A 2-Phase 2600g.cm 34mm 4-Lead1.8 Degree. before i order wished i knew if they would work for my reprap wilson RS build with mega 2560 r3 ramps sheild 4988 motor drivers. what would be the cheepest and best steppers to use?

They will get you printing, but the speed will be probably limited because of the relative high resistance in the windings.

The many of the popular motors for a reprap build has a winding resistance at around 3 ohm, those you describe is 30 ohm.

The speed will be limited because higher resistance in the windings, means longer time to charge the windings, and build up the magnetic field, that makes the thing rotate.

However microstepping will be smooth at butter, as the current is easier regulated, and the drivers will run cool without active cooling.
