This is a question that can't be answered, because it's based on your opinion. There is ALOT of info in here to be considered. I'll answer the best I can, according to what I think your question is. Usually, I'd just say "SEARCH IT!"
The cheapest would be another K8, which will hold up fine, if properly taken care of. The best option IMO, for ease of installment, and taller gears: 626, MX-6, or Late Probe. I don't know how much they cost. If you want to drag, Most people like the K8 for it's shorter gears.
Don't let my opinion be a substitute for research.
