What is the best wide angle lens to get for follow cams that has no vignetting(picture below)?

thats not vignetting. vignetting is the effect the corners get when the image stabilizer is on, causing the camera to make the corners wobble... kinda. anyways, it all depends on what camera you have, you could get a death for $995 if it fits your camera.

I thought vignette was some kind of salad dressing?

You're thinking vinagrette.  Anyway yeah you'd have to go with the fish eye and trying to find one for under $100 is highly unlikely, more like 2 or 3 for a decent one. Basically look in your local camera shop and have an in depth talk with the head guy there and see what he can do for you or what he'd suggest, buy the best you can afford though cause buying lower end lenses is more expensive in the end when you have to replace them.
