Is there an alternative to Apple's USB-C charger for the 2016 rMBP?

I like to have a couple of chargers, which I'll leave at my parents house, my client, my home office, etc. I'm not looking for nameless cheap stuff, but I don't want to spend lots of money on a handful of official Apple chargers either.
 
In these early days, I'd buy the extra power adapters from Apple directly, especially after these recent revelations about poor third-party adapter quality. Maybe just buy one extra for now.

Once people play guinea pig and work out what third-party adapters provide adequate and reliable power, then consider the third-parties if you need additional adapters.
 
So I was looking at an additional power supply, turns out that unlike magsafe, you actually need to
A) buy a separate DC charger cable and
B) get a long power cord separately if you like that one better than a duck head

Oh my...

You may not need a full 60-80w charger but rather a "travel" charger that will trickle charge at night or keep the battery going (w/o going down) during the day.

I'm still waiting for reviews but my guess is any good 29-45w charger will do, like the ones for the retina MB
