I've got the A1 Style Flip Rear Sight from http://www.yankeehillmachine.com/store/sights.html. I like it.

i have the BUIS.
i'm not sure how much i would recommend them however. there is no elevation adjustment, i think they are for 300 yards, and the small aperture is for out to 600. so at 100, you either have to hold low or adjust your cheekweld so the front sight post is visible at the top of the rear aperture. looks really cool though behind my tri-power.

I have a set of the GG&G BUIS on my Armalite. They are well made and work as advertised.

So far the one I put behind my Eo-Tech from Bushmaster works fine. No
elevation adjustment but rock solid. A little cheaper than some of the others too.

I'm using the Troy folding rear BUIS. Great machining and very sexy. I haven't mounted an optic on it, though.
All the rage at arfcom.

I'm using the ARMS #40L on a Bushmaster 20" with an ARMS SIR #59C, LOVE IT! Shot with it for the first time yesterday and it was true at 100 yds....

I have owned most of the popular ones and consider the Troy to be the best. One of the reasons is that it sits low. If I want to switch from an Aimpoint to an ACOG, the Troy is the only BUIS that is low enough to mount the ACOG. Same goes for a conventional scope. The Troy will allow you to mount it, a lot of others sit too high.
