Hutchins! You wont be sorry. The cheapys will do the job but will beat you to death if you use it much, not to mention they jump around so much its hard to get close to a flat surface.
I used mine in a production body shop for 20 years and finally it got to where it didn't want to work, I sent it in for a rebuild and for a $75 it came back like new.
I do have a couple of the cheaper ones but I really hate to use them.

Hutchins is the best, but IR is fine, I've used one for years without issues.

I would saw pick between Hutchins and Viking. Make you decision based on which handle arrangement seems more comfortable. I prefer the Viking style.

The Hutchins orbital one is bad a$$, and by far the best Ive used. But costs a small fortune. The best value priced straight line sander Ive found it is Chicago Pneumatic. They make a composite on that is lightweight and don't get cold.
