For the outemu red, rakk lam-ang lite or tecware phantom tkl - 2k php (40 usd)
For the cherry mx red, hyperx alloy fps pro - 3k php (60 usd), btw this is on sale, the original price is 80 usd
any help will be appreciated

Are you able to get the Rakk Lam-Ang Pro with Kailh Box switches? The price should be similar to the Alloy Pro, but it uses better keycaps and switches, and comes with Kailh hot swap sockets. 

If not, then probably the Lam-Ang Lite, as it seems to have a bit more features than the Phantom.

what's the difference between outemu red and cherry mx red?

 

[Ominous]

Outemu switches are clones of Cherry's switches.  The Outemu Reds are slightly heavier than MX Reds but other than that, they're about the same. 

 

As seon mentioned, I would recommend going for Kailh Boxs as they're significantly better than both Cherry and Outemu.

Going to second this about Kailh. My first hotswap keyboard came with Outemu blues, and they felt okay. I swapped them out for Kailh Pro Light Green switches and it felt much better. On my current board, I have the CTRL Keyboard from Drop, and has Kailh BOX Whites and I have loved them ever since. Don't think I am going back to Cherry again.

Normally I'm not a fan of Cherry switches however I think when it comes to linears, if you get retoold MX Red, and put a good spring in them, and lube them, they do edge out other offerings in the linear category. They definitely sound a lot better due to the housing materiel. And the mods I mentioned bring their smoothness up to acceptable levels.
