The best ESDI controller I have used is the Western Digital WD-1007.
It generally retails for around $225-$275.  

I have purchased one too many '386 boards that had *serious* compatibility
problems with the ESDI interface.  Generally, it's a question of whether
the motherboard manufacturer has explicitly addressed the issue of 
ESDI compatibility.  By now most probably have.  But some haven't.

Good luck,
Will
