Cinelli 1A - good performing, classic looking, most likely period-correct for that bike, readily available at reasonable price, Italian. 'Nuff said.

If you're a retro weight weenie (like me)...
Cinelli Grammo - Titanium goodness, 200 grams, roughly $120AU
or.....
Look Titianium Stem - 148 grams, $250AU - sold recently on ebay US - not sure how often they come up!
(For reference, My Apollo IV Techtronic stem is a sniff over 300 grams)

Go the Cinelli 1A or similar. Perhaps ITM Goccia.
