What is a good modern amp for this application? Or if you prefer, what kind of amp is needed here? Precision? High speed? I have used an OP37 and an OPA602 with good results, but I am hoping for an inexpensive alternative.

High input impedance for sure, and a fast slew rate to keep the reset 
step sharp.
I'm with Ian on the OPA134.
