When in doubt, Canon 430

The safest buy is the latest model Canon 430EX.

There are some up and coming Chinese flash units, and store brands from some retailers, all with mixed reviews.
It's possible the negatives relate to older models, but names made up of streams of numbers make it hard to keep track.

A Canon 430EX will work on a new Canon body, when you get to buying one.

Lenses. I have the latest "Nano" version of the 18 - 135, and it is a high quality lens. You should find one and compare it to the 18 - 135 you already own. Is the new one better?

Early iun the thread, someone suggested both a new body and a kit lens for it. If the new 18 -135 seems better than the one you have, I too recommend a new body and kit lens.

Pick your body based on what you can afford, and then buy one notch more expensive.
