Im a intermediate drummer..I've been playing for about 6 years. Is the Rockstar Custom EFX the way to go?

That is a question only you can answer. And it depends on many variables (not just how long you've been playing): What kit do you have now? Do you make a living as a drummer? How much are you willing to spend? What kit features are important to you? Do you already have good hardware? What sound are you looking for? Etc.

I've been playing drums for about 5 or 6 years, I'm in a hard rock band. I'm looking for a good drumset, but I don't have all that much money. I need something good looking yet durable and is overall good?

Rockstars look good (esspecially the Customs and EFXs), sound good and are solid as a rock, so that may the way to go. But Exports, Stage Customs, Pro Ms, etc. are all about equal, IMO. You might also look into Pacific's CX, LX, MX and FS kits - they're solid maple or birch instead of mixed woods like Rockstars et al. I would also consider a used pro level kit in good condition - it should cost you about the same as a new Rockstar, but be of higher quality.
