Canon's always seem to get rave reviews, but at a price. I like sigma flashguns personally - might be worth checking this:

My gut feeling would be to go with the Canon, as you have a Canon camera and the flash will be optimised for use with the EOS system, other than that pretty much down to personal preference. Good luck, and post up some piccies when you get it

Been using Canon guns for too many years now and couldn't praise them higher. The only times that I use anything else is in the studio or for medium format when it's Metz.
