If you want a good reliable reasonably priced: Cane Creek 40.
That about sums it up. I would only add that even the Cane Creek 10 is pretty solid; that headset came on one of my bikes, and it's still fine after about 15k of all-weather mileage with no service whatsoever.
But yeah, the CC 40 is as good a headset as anyone really needs...Though that didn't stop me from putting a 110 on my gravel bike.
