I find Pierre Ferrand, Senior, Marie Brizard, and Grand Marnier all work well. With only 1/2 oz, I don't find a significant difference from one to another. Clement Creole Shrub is another good option. Just don't use any bottom-shelf stuff. Low quality orange liqueur messes up a cocktail faster than almost anything. There are approximately 25 ounces in a 750ml bottle. That means a bottle of curacao will make 50 Mai Tais. Why quibble over a price difference that works out to something like 30 cents a drink? Buy the good stuff.
