Either the Nikon Speedlite SB/700 or the Nikon Speedlite SB/900
The Nikon SB-910, hands down the best choice out there, at any price.

SB 700 for good all round use at a good price...
Depends on what you want to do with the flash and how hard you drive it as well as if you want to use Nikon's CLS... as in wanting the external flash to operate in Master or Remote modes.
I use both the SB-910 and SB-900 professionally. They are powerful, big and expensive. They fully support all Nikon's flash modes.
The SB-700 and SB-600 are good for all around flash use. The SB-600 cannot be used as a Master, but your built-in flash on the D600 can control it remotely.
The SB-400 is too little IMO to consider. Not much better than your built-in flash and no remote capability unless using radio system.
Or you could find a good used SB-800. It is still one of the best flashes Nikon produced. It is as powerful, yet smaller than the SB-9xx series, only draw back is the zoom range does not go out to 200mm like the SB-9xx series. And it works in Master or Remote modes too.

I have just purchased the Nikon SB-910, and good gosh It's almost more than I can handle, I'm still learning. But I do look forward to getting it right, have lots of idea's.

I have a d600 and the SB700 flash. I have had no problems with this combo.

Can't fault the SB700 since I bought it six months ago. Fantastic all round use for just about all applications. However, if money is no object and you want all the bells and whistles, the SB910 is about as good as it gets. It's a big powerful unit.
It all depends on what you want to do with flash. Nikon covers pretty much everything you desire. Metz does have some nice units out there, that can pretty much do the same thing (if it is specified to Nikon).
I have a Nikon D600 and for me it is the SB 910. Why settle for less, this one can do most everything you throw at it.
