I was thinking about getting a GBA Micro, and then a flash cart so it wouldn't be bigger than a regular GBA game..but wow, they're all expensive and have such low storage (conveninently described in Mbits)..

does anyone have a suggestion one that is cheap, GBA sized and has a nice storage capacity?

The SC SD really doesn't stick out much and is the most cost effective even after you factor in the price of the SD card.

The ones that are standard cart size seem to all be priced about the same.

They've always been expensive. It's just how GBA flashcarts are.

And it's not the flashcarts that decided on the term "mbits". Nintendo has always referred to their games in bits versus bytes. This goes all the way back into the 80's. Many chip manufacturers also use bits instead of bytes (at least internally)

Due to this, all the flashcarts measured in megabits are actually the true size, not measured in decimal megabytes like regular flash media. (A 256Mb flash cart is actually 32MiB. A 512MB SD card is actually about 488MiB.)

Look up "megabytes" and "mebibytes" on Wikipedia for more explanation.
