Best single leg fly rod guides

Hi Guys
I like using Snake Brand snake guides as the feet on them need no work, filing and straightening etc and look uniformly good, can anyone recommend a single leg guide of a similar quality please? The few I've tried just don't look very nice under a clear wrap.

Many thanks, John

I find the Batson Alps and Forecast wire single foot guides to be the best. The foot needs very little if any preparation.

Fuji Model L, SIC Ring and Titanium frame. Usually needs no prep. Better than any single foot snake guide.

The "best" guide depends upon its use: salt water or fresh water? 2# "big fish" or 40# "big fish"? 30' "long casts" or 90' "long casts"?
