Either that link above or the JEBO one is probably the best bang for the buck, but just remember how much the original cost was, cause it'll fail sooner than a more expensive filter...I do recall hearing about broken fittings, etc.
There are also used items that pop up on EBAY and Craigslist every so often, under $100, but in need of minor items, media or hoses, etc.
The HOT filters are OK, but not as a standalone, IMO, on a 55-the HOT 350 is over budget.

I have used FLUVAL for almost 20 years......I stand by the name...........As for a 55g filtration unit, I would go with a DIY wet/dry filter or two HOB(hang-on-back) filter unit...........The most reliable combo would be two AquaClear 70 filters...........As for a canister, try building a DIY wet/dry......Starting off small will lead to an owner's advatage when dealing with something bigger............I have built a DIY wet/dry for mty 125g.......Total cost, less then $60, as compared to a brand new one that costs between $200-300............
