My two favorite (compact) flash units for using with the M Series are the Nissin i40c, and the Godox TT350c (aka Adorama Flashpoint Zoom Mini R2).  Perfect size.  Tilt and swivel, AA batteries, great external controls.

They both will work in S1 and S2 optical slave mode when triggered by the built-in flash on the Camera body.  Flash power (of the remote flash) is full Manual.

The larger 3rd party flashes will work this way too (I have the Godox V860IIIc and the Yongnuo YN560Li).

One of the nice things about the Godox flashes is that many of them have built-in radio receivers for when you want to graduate to a wireless radio-controlled system.  I also have some Godox battery-powered portable and A/C powered "studio" strobes that work on the same system.  Very handy to be able to control them all together.

My Canon flashes I mostly use directly on the hotshoe.
