You can still get a NOS RockShox Recon Silver TK fork in straight 26" with canti bosses. It's basically the guts on a Reba on a steel-stanchioned fork, meaning that it's actually air coiled and all that. Travel will likely be greater than your frame is designed for, but that's going to be the case with literally any fork you buy which was made in the last ~15 years.
After that, I think your only choice is going to be something vintage.
Upgrades are badass man. I went with a pretty entry level air fork because the one that came on my bike in 2011 had a recall in like 2013 and they stopped doing claims so I said screw it and went with the RockShox Recon Silver TK. I wanted a new fork since I bought the bike so it was something that was for peace of mind (safety) and upgrading.
With MTB being a sport where you get out of it what you put into it I wanted to make sure I was consistently going riding before putting a ton of money into it. I love how many little things you can change, make you understand and enjoy the sport more. I'm really into working on stuff and I like to work out so the bike is a nice little hobby that fits perfectly in my wheelhouse.
