New or used? You can get a better deal used, but you need to be able to rebuild it or figure in the cost to have someone else do it.
In general 1-1/8" straight steerer forks are getting harder and harder to come by. I have had good luck with used RS Revelation Dual Air forks, as well as Fox F80 and F100 forks (R, RL and RLT). Those forks were really simple to disassemble and reassemble with new seals/oil. The 130mm Rev dual air is one of the best feeling forks short of an oil bath / spring Marzocchi fork, which is almost twice the weight of an air fork.
