I want a angus cross, but not sure what to cross the angus with. The angus will be a show steer, and then butchered for my freezer. Any opinions?

I think you are the only one who can answer your question. What do you want in the cross? What are you looking for? Pick the breed that has the traits you are looking for, breed it to the Angus and hope you get a bull calf that you can make into a steer.
If I were you and I knew what I was looking for, I'd go buy it. You might not ever breed and get a steer with the exact look you are wanting. Too many ifs......

But then, the above is a heifer & you wanted a steer.
Here's a murray grey/angus steer:
