Middleburn was the first to come into my head, but they are a bit pricey. What other options do I have?

Cheers!

Any cranks you like- if you're constrained by price why not pick up a mid range Truvativ/Shimano whatever set, flog whatever rings you don't want, and get a set of short crank bolts, and an unramped ring if you'd rather that than whatever came with the cranks.

Check out the velosolo website for what they did with a set of £40 Deore cranks a-la Jones XTR.

As Vinny says, any cranks you want really.

I used an old set of XT cranks with the rings removed and short bolts. Works fine here.

Velosolo link here if anyone looking for it. It took me a few mins to find.

Do you want new shiny, light, stiff, easy servicing, long life, and happy to look outside of the norm?
