whats the best sealant for a low volume, weekend warrior detailer? I want something that's cheap enough and efficient enough to keep my margin decent, but good enough to impress my clients? recommendations? Hopefully something that doesn't require a pre-cleaner/polish before?

As a little sealant goes a long way and is your LSP, I'd use Menz PL or BFWD.

That's easy! Use what's available locally.
Get Meguiar's compounds and polishes, then get Meguiar's M21 2.0 for a pure sealant. You can also use Ultimate Liquid Wax (which is a sealant). And for that super special 'extra' option you can ALSO use M26 yellow wax, which is a hybrid sealant. You can top ULW or M21 with M26 btw for an INCREDIBLE SHINE, DEPTH, COLOR RENDITION, AND POP!!!!:dblthumb2: Meguiar's M26 has both polymer sealant properties, but it also has carnauba in it, which means it's not as durable as a dedicated 'sealant'. But... it's been known for must be going on 20 years as a simply beautiful final LSP, and it plays well with a lot of other LSP's when you're using it as a 'topper'.

You should be using 1oz or less of sealant on an average size car. With that in mind, the cost difference from the low to high end is a couple dollars per application. That's one thing that bugs me about places that want to charge an extra $75 for sealant, they want more money for something that's easier to apply.
Use what you like best.

If you don't want to use a pre cleaner I'd go for DP Poli-Coat. It has a bonding agent mixed in. DP Poli-Coat Paint Sealant, polymer paint sealant, auto paint sealant, DP Policoat paint sealant, paint sealer Its very easy to use too.
If I understand you question right, you want to to be able to apply the sealant after washing, no prep or polishing, Right?
Something like Optimum Opti-Seal is a WOWA. Menzerna PL is great too, but requires a wipe down after application (like 95% of sealants).

It depends on the client, i wont apply a sealant without at least a clay or light polish unless the finish is really clean, just trying to reduce the steps so an exterior detail doesnt take forever

Even though, IMO, polishing/smoothing will bring
out the most ooh-ing and ahh-ing from the clients...
Yet if you want:
"something that's cheap enough and efficient enough
to keep my margin decent, but good enough to impress
my clients"...Then (also IMO):
You need to google something like:
Bulk Synthetic Spray Waxes;
Or:
Locate a jobber truck that services some
of your local Detail/Body Shops.

Could alwaya get a 2 in 1 wax/sealant such as 3d Poxy
It will last a long time even without 601.
