I have a reasonable amount of random gear and a few runes.. only nowadays I feel like there are so many options in the game.. what would be the best smiter combo that is reasonably cheap to build?

Any physical character always requires expensive equipments so he can play in hell because if he only has cheap items, he does no kill unlike as a caster, especially a hammerdin, who can support massive groups of enemies. But, the minimum that your physical pally needs should be :

1. Hoz
2. Fortitude
3. Grief
4. Guillaume's Face

With this equipments, you should expect to die many times at Uber Tristram because it's not super expensive for this expansion bonus where you can get the hellfire torch.

So is Uber Tristan harder than years past? I used to run with a well geared smiter that had all perfs, but the gear was: gface, highlords, fort, ebug vortex exile, lwpb, dungos, dracs, gores, ravenfrost and bk ring.i never had a problem with him downing ubers. Now I see people stacking a lot more res and going for as much cb as possible. Can I not just wear dracs for life tap instead of a wand? Life leach should be somewhere around 15 I think and then life tap off of dracs. I know the gear would be a bit different cuz all I have is a well geared hdin and not a ton of dough, but is this ultimately what I should go for?

Just swap to Goblin toes and Black flail. Use Fanaticism and you sould be fine.
