Default What ex-pen or playpen do you reccomend?

So, it's time to get Alice a pen of some sort for inside when I have to leave the house. I've been using her crate that she sleeps in at night (it's only big enough for her to be able to turn around and lay down comfortably), but she FREAKS out when I put her in there during the day and dh works night shift and sleeps during the day so that's not good. I want her to be more comfortable and have enough room for a piddle pad, small bed, water bowl and toys. I don't have room for a huge one, just big enough for those items and for her to be comportable and have room to move around and play with her toys.

I've looked at quite a few on Amazon are there are a lot of options. Any reccomendations? She's 4 lbs. now and most likely only going to get up to 5 lbs. She is agile though! She can jump high - I discourage this of course and I've also seen her kind of "climb" up the side of our high bed (also discouraged lol) so it has to be really inescapable. The "soft" sided ones look nice, but I'm afraid she'll either chew through it or take a good jump for the side and knock it over. Here's links to some of the ones I've looked at:

Amazon.com: Iris CI-604 Indoor/Outdoor Plastic Pet Pen, 4 Panels: Kitchen & Dining
Amazon.com: Best Pet Folding Play Pen - Blue - Small: Kitchen & Dining

Amazon.com: 24H" x 24" 8 Panel GoGo Black Epoxy Exercise Pen w/ Door: Kitchen & Dining

The other thought I had was to get a large, metal, open kennel (like the one we use for our Akita) but idk what's a better option. Oh, my spending limit for this is about $60.
Thanks in advance for any recommendations
