What budget motors is the best?

Hello! Im new to this forum and im looking forward to spend more time on here to learn all about this subject!
So me and my friend are currently making a prototype ROV and we dont really wanna spend too much money at first on motors.
So my question is, what motors are pretty cheap and can be used for smaller ROVs?
And what is the best way to waterproof the motors? I've heard that you can use brushed motors underwater if you dry them out and lubricate them after each use, but that feels pretty risky, if theres any kind of dirt in the water, the motor will break i guess?
And if it leaks some water inside a brushless motor, its not easy to dry it out, right?
Im looking forward to some answers!
Kind Regards
