I have a $60 flip-up BUIS that is very similar in looks and function to the GG&G MIAD on my two SBR uppers. I don't remember where I bought them from, but they've both held zero very well. Would I take either of these into combat? Probably not. But they have survived being my trunk rifle for the last couple of years now. YMMV.

Larue BUIS, but I would try the new Magpul based on their reputation.

What about a <$50 Matech? I've never used one but they are Govt. issue and they seem to pop up allover the place for cheap.

The only options I'd consider:
Fixed: Larue
Folding: Troy
The chopped carry handles work well, but I don't like A2 sights. I consider them target sights and not combat sights. I'd be fine with it for a loaner or range gun.
LaRue is closer to A1 in design -- windage adjustable only, adjustable with coin or cartridge rim. Stock model features dual plane apertures, they also offer a single plane aperture setup for about $30-35 additional. Pretty much bomb and idiot proof when it comes to dorking with settings or damaging the sight. If you're OK with fixed, and you aren't hung up about about a lack of elevation adjustment, it's the best deal going (price, quality).
Chopped carry handles are GTG also, but they feature A2 adjustments. The benefit is you get elevation adjustability, although many question the value of that, especially for a BUIS. The downside is knobs are exposed and can get adjusted out of whack, either though malfeasance (the asshat who picks it up and says "What are these for?", while spinning them), or due to knocks. And unless you mark them with witness marks, there's a good chance you won't notice they've moved.
