Flash question

I have a Canon Rebel 300D and want to get a flash unit for it. I also have an older model...Canon EOS Rebel Xs. I understand that the flash I buy, for the digital, won`t be able to function the same for the "B" type older model. Sometime I shall upgrade the 35mm body...So, which flash to buy?...thanks!
