Handlebar Tape

So I just bought a new bike and kind of messed up on the handlebar tape. I got it into the shop for a tune and a lady convinced me to try this black stuff with stars on it. I thought it would look super cool but it actually looks really girly and I'm going to get it changed.

My bike is a full matte black, 2001 cannondale R600.

Are there really any major differences in cheap tape vs expensive tape? This stuff was kind of an expensive mistake but I'm contemplating getting cheaper stuff to replace it. I'm thinking either black or blue but leaning towards just a full black set up. Any opinions on tape style/functionality? I'm also wondering if it's really worth it to get a shop to do it or if it's plausible to just buy some online and throw it on myself.

Cheers <3
