Any standard hot-shoe flash should fit the XSi, though check the flash sync voltage to be on the safe side. Using a Canon EX-series Speedlite will give you a variety of additional features; other flashes won't be able to synchronise at shutter speeds faster than 1/200th sec, and won't work in live view mode, either, for example.

Will a canon speedlite 420ex flash work on a rebel XTI camera?

Yes, but with some limitations. The Canon 480EG was designed as a TTL flash (through the lens metering) but also has an External Auto metering Mode. It can be used with any camera that has a PC sync connection. Don't use the "Shoe Cord E" that comes with the flash unless you are using a Film Camera with TTL flash metering. It can be used with Digital cameras provided you use a PC sync cord to connect the flash to the camera. Use the camera in manual mode and match the settings that you want to use with the flash.
