The best of those five would have to be Dracula X, though it's not terribly expensive.
There's quite a few games that sell in the same range as Dracula X (or higher) - such as Beyond Shadowgate, Bonk 3, Dungeon Explorer II, Super Air Zonk, Might & Magic III, Hawaiian Island Girls, Local Girls of Hawaii, Bikini Girls, Exile: Wicked Phenomenon, Syd Mead's Terra Forming, Crazy Hospital, Tatsujin's Adventure (a.k.a. Bazaru de Gozaru), Hi-Leg Fantasy, Renny Blaster, and likely many more.

They seldom appear on ebay, but when they do they usually sell for right around the $100 mark. They're high cost is definitely due to rarity and not quality like Dracula X.

Yeah Guyjin- and you say turbo yet list river city ransom. if it's just turbo though it seems like a year or two from now Hero Tonma can be added to that list. I've looked endlessly for a good deal on the US version and there's none to be had. Gets more expensive each time and yet I've seen it on some list as "rarity 4"- meanwhile it's priced like a rarity 7 going on 8.
If it's PCE then you can add Steam Hearts and 21 Emon and anything Bazarujin might tell you to add- being that he has like a kajillion pce games and would know :D

I still think Dracula X is the best traditional Castlevania game, and Castlevania is one of the best game series around. The other titles are good, but I really think Dracula X is simply one of the best games ever made. Not THE best, but certainly one of the best.

I voted for Drac X. There are many other non-great games that are pricey, like Renny Blaster.

Some other noteworthy and often expensive games that haven't been mentioned yet are Madou Monogatari (my favorite), Sylphia, Faussete Amour, Puyo Puyo Tsuu, Rainbow Islands (expensive lately), and Nexzr (not so expensive anymore).

Hawaiian Island Girls, Local Girls of Hawaii, Bikini Girls,
I'm talking about games that are usually expensive and good.

Drac X easily, and Sapphire a distant second. Drac X can still be had for less than double its original retail if you are lucky, which isn't that expensive, really.
I was hoping to see Bazaaru de Gozaaru no Game de Gozaaru on that list. Its one of the better expensive titles, IMO.
