There are several good ones.  Be sure to get a four jaw chuck.  The standard 50 mm jaws will be suitable for most of your needs.  The important thing is to get a chuck insert that matches your headstock spindle.  I use the Nova G3 and the Nova SuperNova2 and am pleased with either.  You might also want to purchase a Nova Stebcenter drive center.  It prevents you from having to take off the chuck every time you are needing to round a square stock between centers.
