I think for most of the cheapie finders out there Huygen's are used. I modified my GSO finder into an erect image finder and so have played with different EP's. I think plossls are probably the best for a budget, I settled on a 20mm. I have a UO 24mm Konig and it was horrible. I'm sure a 24Pan would be optimal but I doubt it's worth the cost.

Glenn's suggestion makes a lot of sense... I think I'm going to have to try a bino EP or two.
