Recommend me a zero stack (semi integrated) headset

[garethrl]

A recent ebay special Giant TCX cross frame has fallen into my hands, but it was sold without a headset so I need one to get rolling. I see that Hope do one, and Cane Creek too obviously, but are there any other good ones I should consider?

All tips gratefully received (apart from those saying "they're all cr*p, better get a proper frame and headset ), also offers of course.

Cheers, Gareth.

Depends on fitting type but I am currently happy with

Ritchey WCS on my Pace RC03

and

Campag on my Kuota.

Actually I realised after posting that there's more than one type. Do you know how many distinct types there are? And in what way do they vary? I guess the OD of the internal cups is the critical factor here, but are there others I need to bear in mind?

The relieved portion of the Giant head tube has 41mm ID and it's 12mm deep. As far as I can see the Ritchey one is for a 44mm ID headtube.

Hmmm ...
