Can I use cheap microfiber with ONR?
I recently spent 12 hours correcting my paint so I don't want to risk swirling the paint. Autozone is having a special on microfiber for 9 towels for $7. If I bought the 9 towels I could use one for each panel, reducing the risk of marring.
Would the very nature of using a cheap microfiber with ONR cause marring or does the lubrication help enough to stop maring?

I haven't used those but I don't think I'd chance all your work.

I've been using the Costco Kirklands with ONR and other rinseless products. I wouldn't use them for wiping wax or polish, but in a wet state, I've seen no cause for concern.

Re: Can I use cheap microfiber with ONR?
Scratches, swirls and marring are a combination of the wash technique and wash products (MF towels and products), and also the amount of dirt you are trying to remove. ONR has its limitations (in terms of lubricant). BUT regardless, if you just corrected your car and start your question with CHEAP, then you are asking for trouble!! You get what you pay for
In all seriousness, if the MF passes the CD scratch test you SHOULD be safe..... Personally I would not chance it.

I have an older van and I'm not worried about the paint. I will try to purchase some of these towels and try a rinseless wash, and let you know

I would not use cheap microfiber they have there place and time but begin that you spent 12 or more hours making your paint flawless its only right to use high quality microfiber like cobra all I am saying is you undoing all your hard work

I'm with BillyJack. I've used Proforce MF towels for rinseless washing with no issues whatsoever. They're my wash towels and I keep them very clean with Micro Restore detergent. I buff compound/polish/wax off with Meguiars Ultimate Wipes though.

Cheap doesn't necessarily equate to poor quality, especially buying in bulk...so assuming you meant of less quality, its possible to get away with them as long as they are maintained properly and used primarily with rinseless washing where there is a lot of lubrication going on.
In my day we didn't have the Internet, iPods,iPads, or smart phones....but we had some really bad-azz cars.

If you're looking for inexpensive MF towels for a rinseless, try these: Super Soft Deluxe Microfiber Towels, microfiber detailing towels, microfiber buffing towels, detail cloth, micro fiber or the Gold Plush Jr's. Microfiber Tech's prices are even lower for 360gsm towels and might be worth a look.

I try to stay away from anything "cheap" when I detail. And IMO towels, quality ones, are one of if not the most important parts of detailing.
Back to the full-time grind.
