They don't look glamorous, but the Fuji graphite/aluminum reel seats are inexpensive, strong, and just about foolproof. They come in sizes for just about any fly rod.
For your small-stream rod, an inexpensive and attractive reel seat is one of the featherweight seats, with two rings, or one ring and a fixed end cap, over a cork (or wood) barrel. Yes, sliding rings do hold a small reel reliably.
