All but two of the few times I've used flash on a Leica it has been with an M3. I've always used my trusty Vivitar 283 and it has worked fine. However, IMHO, generally flash is unnecessary with Leicas if you use ASA 400 or faster film. Without that mirror flopping around in there, you really CAN hold the camera steady at very slow shutter speeds. I also hate the look of most flash pictures, but I suppose that's a religious issue best avoided.
