either of the short cage Soras would be fine. your chain might not be long enough for the long cage model. The Tiagra will work too but you may have problems witht he DA.

What wrong with this one? The damaged one worked, didn't it? And it's dead cheap.

I'd go with a Sora 3400 or Tiagra 4500 for "future proofing" should you want to go with 9spd later. Else, a derailleur is a derailleur unless you are racing.
