The Hyper 212 is regarded as the best bang for the buck because it's often 20-30$, like that Micro Center link. For $50, I'd rather spend $10 more and chose something like a Megahalems (or that Spire Thermax Eclipse II).
This is what I have, and it's served me well... it's $25 with MIR!

It's not far down the list at all, and it's cheaper.
EDIT: One more thing, Spire Thermax Eclipse II is $55 and dominating right now. http://www.frostytech.com/articleview.cfm?articleID=252...
Looks really good... that's what I would buy.

Using a Sunbeam CCF 120 here too. Great temps and I would recommend it to anyone as well. OP would need to get the 1156 adapter which is another $10. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168... But he could get that back IF he hit the $15 MIR.

Guess I couldn't find the spire here in the states either..
This is Frosty's socket 775 test results for the 212, note the 9700 results as well as the CCF.

If your thinking Zalman and spending more like $50, the Zalman CPNS10X has your 1156 attachments.

THEE most important thing that's not been talked about is your case, do you have room for a big A/M cooler ? Fans in side panels can interfere with coolers.
Take your time a read as many reviews as you can before buying !
side note: some coolers require removing motherboard to install a backing plate, ie 212+

Yeah, you're right I can't find it anywhere either. The review says it sells at the "9 usual heatsink stores", but I guess not. =/
So far, depending on how much you want to spend, and what deals you can get, I'd buy:
$20-$30: Hyper 212+
$40: CCF 120
$60: Megahalems

I hear nobody ever gets the rebates from sunbeamtech. I bought the cooler cause I figured I would get it for $25 after the rebate, but I then read about how it is a major ordeal to try to get it from them or to get newegg to pay for it, so I e-mailed them and they just sent me an RAM approval and have waived the restocking fee because it is unopened.
I got the Scyth Mugen 2 instead, which was $40 at micro center (cheaper than shipping over newegg.

I pretty much just returned it on shear principle, and I probably won't be ordering anything from them or tuniq (one of their brands) for awhile.
The mugen 2 ranks lower on frosty tech, but it ranks higher on other sites. I am overclocking this weekend and I'll see how it does. I don't believe it is that much worst, and think there is a lot of results that can change based on standard deviation. Also, I think Frostytech's methodology has its own set of problems, for all the good it does.
