I have the $20 one. Use 2 AAA batteris, takes 5-7 seconds to recycle. Nice for hiding behind small spaces, but too slow for general shooting.

Though you may well have a problem with them being fired with the preflash of an EX unit - unless you use the EX on totally manual.

Works well indoors but not outdoors for me. Here's an example with my G9 to trigger it

The second model listed apparently has an adjustable setting whereby it can be told to ignore either none, one or two pre-flashes. That would make it the one to use with either a 530 EX or 580 EX .... I think I will pick one up ...

Which means it would work with the 430ex as well right?

Geez, I meant to write 430 EX or 580 EX. If I could type ....

As I said, I have never tried one, but it seems like a cheap way to add a small light to a setup. I have a 430 and a 580.

This would probably work alright for fill light behind the subject. Just need to find out where to get them in the UK.
