Eric, I use three flashes, the Olympus OM (which is the same as the Hexar and the CF flash - all made by Panasonic) favoured for its compactness, a Metz 32 CT3 when more light is required, and an SF20 (for TTL on my M6TTL). Of the three I prefer the Olympus OM for its size if I am using a camera without TTL. It uses readily available and inexpensive AA batteries and is very cheap if you can find it. Cheers Howard.
