What is a good seat post to buy for an XC bike?

i have a thomson elite setback which i finally decided is too big for me. i wanted to get a standard straight elite, but i dont want to spend $80 for a replacement and ebay doesnt have any used elite straights. this will be for an XC race bike, so what would you recommend? i would like to get a carbon post
Answer:

For a CF post take a look at the Bontranger race X lite post. It really works well. I have a Alien for my road bike now but wish I keep the X lite post.

you want a carbon post but you dont wanna spend $80?? A good carbon post will run over 100 bucks and i wouldnt ever get anything used in carbon. Stick with Thompson for the price or maybe Ritchey or FSA or something.
