So you want something good, cheap, AND big?

Pick two!!

Everything is optical or laser, and work on nearly any surface, why not just let the mouse sit on the desk? I use mine on the bed, arms of chairs, even my pants leg. I haven't had a mouse pad in years.

Used to use my Desk. But it tears off the material of the desk.

In that case, try this. Works great.

Indeed, the mouse will wear down the surface and the surface wears down the "glide pads" of the mouse.

My recommendation? Get something custom. To hell with a fancy, expensive, flat black mousepad. You can get custom printed mousepads with any image you want, or your own photos.

What mouse are you using it with? What is your most common gaming style?

I would personally recommend:
Razor Goliathus Gaming Mousepad [Speed Edition]

The link I sent is for one I have used on my desk for a loong time. I don't even think of it as a mouse pad but I guess it technically is. I use it for the same purpose mentioned, for protection as my desk top is leather. It is made of a graphite material so it is smooth and friction-free. I love it!

Define Cheap?

I just bought a very large mouse pad from Amazon for $20. A Corsair one that is 35x18 or so. There were others from different companies for less then $15.

Started to bend in the middle and slides around the desk.

I have the red one with a warranty

Couldn't you just buy a placemat if you want to cover your whole desk.
