My usual milling machine vice for quite a while has been the very good Warco DH1. About 18 months ago, I bought a Polish Darmet vice that was advertised on eBay. For the larger jobs, I find it excellent.
Just had a look and the 100mm size (which is what I got) is not listed. On their own website it is listed, but the price has gone up considerably.

Have used a Vertex K4 for many years. Basically a good vice, but have never been able to eliminate jaw lift completely.

Am most impressed by Jason's results with the Arc Type 2 Precision vice.

That is what i would buy, if i were in the market.. You need something rigid and accurate.

Buy the best that you can afford, that will fit your machine!
