Id personally say the HL 532. They do good work it seems. Especially from the description.

What is the burniest laser I can get for around $300?

I have an HL532. On a ratio of the HL532 to my 9mm in burn power id say its about a 25:1. Meaning the HL532 basically doesn't stand a chance. While its bright and has a nice beam its not anywhere near the best burner.
I wouldn't mind building someone a custom 405nm or a 445nm burner BTW. Hit me up in PM if you are interested.

Do you always need goggles with something like that?

Yes, anything above 5mW can be dangerous to your sight. Ones I build specifically for burning and/or spectacular beams are 100-500x that limit. If you are in need of goggles check out the link in my signature. They protect very well for any wavelength laser from 405nm-532nm and I have tested them on 445nms with power over 2.5W and they hold up very well and allow up close viewing of the dot and have been tested to drop a 2W 445nm down to 1-2mW. While they aren't the best available they do work damn well and are super cheap. As long as you don't hold a 2W laser directly on them for over 5 seconds you should be fine LOL.
