The OP asked about single use motors. If that is what you are looking for, you are limited to Estes, Klima and Aerotech. Aerotech is supposed to be releasing a line of single use 18 mm composite motors under the Quest brand, but they are hung up with production and certification issues. Those are the only options for single use motors.

Like many of the others on this thread, I'm a fan of Loki 38 mm loads. But you are limited to 38, 54 or 76 mm sizes, and while assembly is not as hard as most perceive, it is far from the simplicity of single use. It should also be noted that many 29 and 38 mm Aerotech reloads also ship without hazmat. They are currently trying to certify the first hazmat-free J motor. The closest one can get to single use is CTI, but be sure to find a local source for them, or else the hazmat shipping will eat into your rocket budget.

Hazmat for CTI isn't too bad per reload if you order a bunch at once. AMW is really good at getting lots of motors into a single box and a single hazmat fee. CTI availability is a little spotty, but you can usually find something good in 29-38mm if you aren't too picky about the propellant.
