BX is armored cable, more specifically called AC90. Yes it's essentially flexible conduit with conductors already in it (although you can't pull the conductors in/out of it).
Technically you can run surface loomex on your ceiling as long as it's fastened correctly (above 5' you don't need protection, as it's not really going to be subject to damage on your ceiling). That's your cheapest option, but definately the ugliest.
Personally I don't find BX all that nice to look at either, nicely done and bent EMT would look the most PRO.
