Your best bet would be to go to www.arrl.org to order The ARRL Antenna
Book from their store. About 700 pages for $30 or so. It covers all
the popular wire antennas, as well as verticals and beams. To buy the
insulators, wire and feedline you'll need to home build an antenna, go
to net sites for The Wireman, RF Davis, etectera.

It's hard to give you a "brand" for a dipole since they are all
essentially the same, just wire and insulators. One isn't much better
than any other. You might as well build your own. Get a good antenna
book and you can try out a lot of different antenna ideas cheaply.
