Vivitar 2600D + which trigger?

I just got my hands on a Vivitar 2600D for free!
Haven't checked voltage yet so I'm not totally sure it's safe for my k-r (I think the D version should be safe).
I want to use if off-camera mostly anyway.
Anyone have some experience with this flash and the following triggers?

RD616 16 Channel Transmitter Slave Flash Trigger Radio Free Shipping | eBay
RF-602 Wireless Flash Trigger for Canon/Samsung/Pentax DSLR Cameras - Free Shipping - DealExtreme
YongNuo Wireless Remote Flash Trigger for Canon 430/580 EX DSLR Digital Camera - Free Shipping - DealExtreme
Amazon.com: CowboyStudio NPT-04 4 Channel Wireless Trigger for External Speelights with 1 Trigger and 2 Receivers (NPT-04+extra receiver): Camera & Photo

Do any of them sync at 1/180?
Is there another option in the same price range?

all of those except the 602 will sync to 1/180. Problem is, all of them besides the 602 are quite unreliable. you can get 1/160 on the 602 however

A bit out of my price range right now.
I got a vivitar 2600D for free, and another flash that was sold with a YN-04 II trigger set.
I'll see how that works out and go from there I guess.
