p.1 #1 · Needing suggestion for Hot Shoe Flash for Fuji S-5

I'm a retired wedding/portrait photographer that got talked into photographing a wedding for a friend's daughter. I bought a Fuji S-5 a couple of years ago but never picked up a hot shoe flash.
I don't need anything fancy...I want power, TTL accuracy, and some physical height so I don't get red-eye.
I won't be needing fancy radio triggers or wireless or bluetooth or any other fancy crap.
I use studio lights on stands for groups...this will be mainly for candids.
What would you suggest?
Thanks for any input.

Any Nikon flash will work fine. SB700, 800, 900, 910 would be my choices.

The Fuji S5 is basically a D600 body with a different sensor, so I'd imagine a nikon flash would work.

You mean d200, right? Or was it based on the d300 body?

Nikon SB80DX $100 put out the same light as any other, made with APC sensors in mind
