I'm inclined towards the Weird Western genre, but Robert E. Howard has written some commonplace Western stories in addition to his more weird work - and most of those should be available in the public domain. From the more recent writers, I've liked Mark Sumner, but he's decidedly in the weird/fantasy end of the genre, so if that's not your cup of tea... Also, from the other pulp writers besides REH, I've read Tom Thursday and Hapsburg Liebe - you should be able to find their out-of-copyright works on the net, as well as many others at Pulpgen Archive, which has a load of other stories from pulp Western magazines as well.
