I dont know if the canon wireless transmiter will work with 3rd party flash guns, But theres always good recomendation for Pocketwizard II, Not cheep but very good.

yongnuo themselves do some decent off camera transmitters - a lot more reasonably priced than Pocket Wizards too!

The Yongnuo RF 602 and RF 603 are both cheep, very reliable and have great range at 100m plus. I have both types and the have always been totally reliable and survived quiet a few drops on the floor.

The wireless system you buy depends on what features you would like, if you want ETTL off camera then you need a fairly pricey pocket wizard system, for just a straight forward trigger system (using flash in manual mode) which fire's the flash then you need to look at either the radio triggers or Infrared (Infrared can have issues in bright light or a wall is in the way).

Yongnuo have released a new wireless trigger system that (as far as I can tell) supports wireless ETTL with your flash. Literally only just appearing on eBay now, and no reviews out yet, but much cheaper than the bigger brands and seem to pack the same features. Price seems to be around £70.
