I have both a TerASIC Blaster (available thru Mouser, DigiKey, etc) for about US$69,

and a Waveshare USB Blaster v2 (available thru Amazon) for about US$34.

Both have never given me any problems.

I did try one of the el cheapo USB Blaster clones from Amazon for about US$10 and had reliability issues with it.

It got recycled in the electronics trash bin.
