I'm running a Zvex Distortron at the end of my chain, right before my amp to get the JTM45 sound. I'd like to run a boost or an overdrive into it; I'm considering these:

Crowther Hotcake
Lovepedal Amp 50
Death By Audio Interstellar Overdriver (aware it's a less clean sound than the previous but I still am interested)
Fulltone 69 (technically a fuzz but I was able to get a lot of clean overdriven tones when demoing it)

Ideally I'd like to trade in the Distortron and bring home a Double Rock, but after trade-in it'd still probably be out of my pricerange... Perhaps worth it overall though if I can keep my Distortron sound+settings and choose to either add in a boost or an overdrive with the toggle switch... So for the most versatile option I may have just talked myself into saving up... Or talk me out of it!

I'm in love with my ssbs mini so I would suggest that
Great EQ, can go from a boost to borderline fuzz and the bias control is just very neat

Second for the Mini here, it's a great overdrive/clean boost, I love it pushing other pedals and it does good overdrive/fuzz sounds on its own too.

Mini Fuck is fantastic! Same goes for the BAT Revelation SuperBass. Both will go from nice clean boost to thick and fat and HUGE with plenty of gain on tap. The Fuck has more tone shaping options and a bit more high end sparkle if you're after that but the BAT is voiced perfectly imo, keeps your original tone intact, just makes it bigger and meaner. Both stack incredibly well so no worries there.

Magic Meter looks fantastic in sylnau's demo, very interested in that one too.

Since you seems to have a thing for Zvex, maybe a SHO would make your bonerz happen?

If you aren't into that, I'd suggest the SS/BS Mini or maybe a EQD Speaker Cranker.

I know this isn't a popular ILF choice, but the TIMMY is the best overdrive/boost I've ever tried. The one with the switch in the middle... uh, v.2?

Keeps a lot of thickness in your tone without dropping out like a lot of other boosts. Fun EQ controls as well.

I'd like to try the Mini Fuck at some point, but for stuff I've tried, the TIMMY is top of the line.
