Which of these timers do y'all use that set them up for misting systems? On a few seconds - off a few seconds type of operation.

Look for a irritrol that has a looping feature. This lets you have as many cycles per day as needed.

not sure what type of misters your using but you need to let the plant dry off between the ON time, so you may not need a rapid cycle time

You are looking for what is called a propagation timer.
Here is an example of one. It looks like it does what you want when set in propagation mode.

We really benefit from misting here with our heavy uv and low humidity.The interesting part on misting is that if you mist heavily the plants become more dependant on it. So the trick is to find a happy medium where the plants don't burn up from too little or become extra tender from excessive pampering. We easily dry out so disease and rot isn't much of a problem.
