I'm working to expand my set and I wanted to get a Diesel with a Smoke Unit and I wasn't sure if anyone had any recommendations? I am planning on running it on a fastrack O31 loop on my layout. Also, I am on kind of a budget so hoping to spend in the $350 or less range.

If you're looking for new, any of the eight (8) RS-3 or GP7 LionChief Plus 2.0 diesels on pages 72-73 of the new 2021 Lionel catalogue should fit what you need and have a street price in the $350.00 range ($338.00 at one of our Forum sponsors).
They do not come with a remote, but will run on Bluetooth if you download the free Lionel app or with a Universal Remote which you can buy separately.
LionChief Plus also has smoke, but LionChief does not.
Thanks for the advice, I'm going to check those out and check out the forum sponsors. I was also looking at the UNION PACIFIC LIONCHIEF PLUS 2.0 ET44AC #2645 which I have been able to find in my price range, any thoughts on that engine?
