For your 20D, strike the 430EZ. It's not compatible. And there's no such thing as a 540EX.
Any Canon "EX" series Speedlite can be controlled by FEC in the camera. Only three have the option to control FEC via the flash unit: 430EX, 550EX, 580EX.

There are a few aftermarket brands that have this capability also.

For more info, check out this page (external link).

The link provided by mahoney is excellent. We lovingly refer to that article as "The EOS Flash Bible". Print it out, read it and keep it for reference.
