preferably under 100 but if there is one that is worth it for the extra price I would consider it if its less than 500. needs to have manual controls

That's like an author asking what pen, pencil, typewriter, paper or ink is good for writing a story.

There is no right and wrong when it comes to lenses, and no best/worst, every photographer appreciates lenses differently, some people favour certain focal lengths for example

 

since you are buying an old film camera, lenses are dirt cheap so Id probably pick up a couple, maybe start with a nice 35mm prime or something and expand

Sure but what I am saying is, old film lenses are so cheap on ebay that you can just buy like all of them

and it depends what you are looking for in terms of lens? wide angle prime? telephoto? portrait lens? a zoom? etc etc etc

35-50mm lens and it needs to fit on the om2n camera either natively or with an adapter
