I'm thinking about looking into 3P figures to fill the gaps in my CHUG collection I doubt HasTak will fill any time soon.
What 3P lines are generally geared towards CHUG collectors?

Fansproject Function X comes to mind
MakeToys Cross Dimension is a brilliant line. Very stylised though so it may not be your thing.
MMC Reformatted line is another awesome one.

While I agree the lines above are awesome, what gaps are you trying to fill? While the MMC's Reformatted are similar to CHUG in that they are modern takes on classic characters (or comic characters) they have alos grown in stature to the point where they tend to tower over the offical CHUGs and make them look a bit cheap.
I think you should look for the characters you are after, and figure out if you're looking for modern take or comic version. then from what's available look at a few reviews.
I personally consider a lot of 3rd party/indie transformers to be inferior in design, especially the earlier product.
Considerations like finish and joint materials are critical in design of things like this.
Some of it is excellent, but a lot of it is not. If you're lucky you'll be able to find some stuff on clearance at some of the bigger online stores for a good price.
Many popular characters have been made by several manufacturers as well and they all have a slightly different take which will suit your own appreciation differently to others.
In terms of 3P CHuG like stuff that actually scales with CHUG you'd have to be looking at oversized KO's of a lot of the legends scale stuff, and otherwise the now largely defunct FansProject.
Everything else is just too large - the standard size on the MMC Reformatted line is basically CHUG voyager.
I'm really just here for the free food and open bar.
