I like FuzzyFinder (FufBuffer of FufMruFile is about what you want).
Has a nice fuzzy interface (auto-regex or not to user taste), can find
lots of things besides buffers (files, tags, etc.) with
uniform-as-possible interface and you can easily write callbacks to
find whatever you want. Super nice.
