I highly recommend blackbox, fluxbox, & icewm.
I have never tried ion, but there is another nice, unusual, and
extremely lightweight & easily configurable (keybindings & such) window
manager called pwm:

For some reason, I had the feeling that pwm had evolved from ion, but
when I went to retrieve that link just now, I see it calls ion
"A keyboard friendly window manager based on PWM."
