Alright,
just last year I started paintball and bought Wal-Marts version of a Viewloader Triad (the one that comes with the foregrip, mask, 9oz, plug, squeegee, and other gun cleaning supplys) and I'm ready to either get a new gun or customize my Triad. Ive noticed that the Triad isn't very reliable cuz I have to clean it after every game or it wont perform well, but it looks kinda cheap to upgrade. Keep in mind that im mostly into woodsball. If you think I should just get a new gun, please only suggest guns under $150 (not including the Tippman 98 custom.) I really appreciate your help.....

Yeah, I'd just get a 98c. If you don't want that, maybe look into one of the newer sypders.

When the managers and refs at my field see people with any walmart guns they offer them a free rental gun.

Buy anything, it would be better than what you have :P

I would recommend the custom pro, and if you can't put that much money into a new marker, then it's not worth buying a new one because you'll end up with a new walmart gun :p

Atleast look into a used marker if your budget is too low.

Why buy another disaster even if it is less then $150? Save up another $30 and get yourself a custom pro, you won't need another gun for years.
