A composite mould is probably going to be the cheapest. Vinyl ester or epoxy, whatever system you can get that can handle 120° cure cycles. 

Alternatively, epoxy tooling board or aluminium can be affordable if you are getting a small mould milled. Depends where you are and what you can get within your budget really.

Hanaldo, please, tell something about your experience and skilful of epoxy tooling board making to top mirror finish. I just testing that proposal, I have a several brands of sealers (Marbocote, Acmos, Axel, Frekote), but all of them, that's a little bit nightmare work to finish the surface in top mirror look. I'm still unsuccesful. I have tested a several processing methods just like brush, roller, spray gun, sand it 400/600/800/1000/1500/2000, linth free cloth, apply another several coats, but still not top class....marks, dust. I tested polishing that too, but that's not effective way to do.
I just working on an high accuracy autoclave mould, that's the reason why the sprayable topcoats are not possible to use...I have tested that way as well...
