I am sure any cheap lock you pick up at home depot will work fine. I found that the best experience will actually come from taking apart the lock that you get and rebuilding it. So how hard it is to pick doesnt really apply there.

Just make sure you dont get any that use advanced anti-picking devices. If you are just going cheap than I would guess the lock would not have those features.
