Looking to get a fuzz pedal with some gain to it and something with a few adjustable parameters for versatility. Since it's going to be used sparingly, price is an issue so it's gotta be cheaper but quality. I know that is asking for a lot but it's worth discussion.

Hoping to use it with an 800 for stoner rock / doom type stuff. Monolord, Fumanchu, Kyuss etc. I would love a hyper fuzz but they are too pricey.
 
The Boss FZ-2 is one of the best fuzz pedals ever. I hate fuzz pedals, but it is actually musical. Look around on craigslist or pawn shops, you might find one cheap.
 
Check out the MXR Submachine. I got mine used for $90. Very versatile with two buttons and an adjustable sub knob.
 
Attempting to get the job done with VST software for now. The Thermionik ram fuzz isn't complete crap I guess? Been thinking about that new EHX russian RI.
 
I don't like most fuzzes but the Big muff PI with tone wicker beat out a large pile of fuzzes for me on a project for both guitar and bass.
 
The Carcosa is a good recommendation: it's cheap and pretty versatile.

Some sort of used Muff (or clone) is also good.

As a fuzzaholic, my first temptation was to say "all of them."
