Depends on what you are trying to achieve. After you know that, then you need to determine what size you need.
If you go larger than 5mm though, you need extended studs. I like H&R. Ichiba's are pretty popular.

im going to get coils, and i know im going to be hella sunk. i dont have the cash for a full wheelset and new tires, but im sure i could afford some spacers for the rear. i think the front will be OK, but the rear will look pretty bad if i dont do something about it.

If you are on stock wheels, which are narrow and high offset, then yeah they will be pretty sunk if you go pretty low. I wouldn't get a crazy thick spacer or anything though, it's not really worth pushing out stock wheels too far.
I'd spend a little time searching cars on here that are slammed on stockies and see if they are running spacers and what size.

Ichiba, H&R, And Ebays work just fine
I prefer Ebay spacers and I've used them along side my ichibas before with no issues.
there are 2 types of spacers. One type requires you to punch out your OEM studs and install aftermarket longer studs to compensate for the amount of MM's you added to with your spacers.
The 2nd type, and the only type you should get if you can IMO, are the adapter style spacers. What these are is they sit on your OEM studs and bolt down and then a few MM's over they have the same 5x114 bolt pattern so then it's easy, you just bolt your wheels onto the spacers. HOWEVER when you bolt down the adapter style spacers your studs will protrude past the spacer so you really need to look at your wheels and see if there are cut outs in the back of the wheels to compensate for the studs pictured bellow
THE ONLY ISSUE AND ONE THAT YOU NEED TO KNOW IS THAT IF YOUR WHEELS DO NO HAVE SPACE FOR YOUR OEM STUDS TO SIT THEN ADAPTER STYLE SPACERS WILL NOT WORK.

I loved my Ichiba. Project Kics are very good as well.
But then again, that is $100-$200 you could put towards wheels. . . just saying
