I'd strongly recommend the MX if you can find one in good shape. Pretty robust little camera, but check the shutter.
In common with any camera of that age you'll almost certainly need to replace the light seals if they haven't been done already, but it's relatively easy and can be done as a DIY job. Look on Ebay for "interslice" to get a good kit to do this.

Has to be the MX ...
and if you happen to be interested, I may well have a working one available.

Yeah the MX gets my vote too, I still keep 2 of them, I actually prefer the size of the KX and the metering indication in the VF, it lacks interchangeable focusing scrrens but has MLU (mirror lock up). MLU can be achieved on the MX if you know the knack but it's not a feature.

I'd agree probably the MX, but as a real work horse, clunker take any abuse and then ask for more - try a K1000. Used one for years, got me out of many a jab.
By the way, welcome to the forum.

I gladly welcome C & C's. Being foggy minded they really help me learn.
