I have experience of two.
I bought the Marumi ringflash which I used on my 40D. When I tried it on my 7D all sorts of weird things happened like the whole camera locking up and reporting an error (8 I think) It so spooked me that I took it off the camera and never used it again.
In truth it could have been down to the humidity in the butterfly house.
Anyway I eventually bought the Canon MR-24 EX twin flash. This is expensive, (but let's face it no more expensive than a good lens) and really is the dog's danglies.
The cheaper and less powerful MR-14 EX is a ringflash and would probably be fine.
I would personally go for Canon branded kit if you can possibly afford it as you can pretty much guarantee that all the ubits will co-operate with each other.

Price, features, for what lens?
Cheapest is probably Ettl only DRF14C here, you will get for about £60 if you make offer. I have bought from this seller twice with very good results!
Canon MR-14 and MT-24 are better but a lot more expensive!

I recently purchased the MR14 - I wish I'd got the MR24 as it is more powerful. Having said that the MR14 fits nicely onto my 100/2.8 and gives me good light when I use it.
The only limiting factor I have found with it is if I stack up the extension tubes, it just doesn't seem quite powerful enough then.
