Well, two sources that are worth checking out are :

http://www.chocosphere.com/
and
http://www.gourmail.com/

As far as which chocolate, it all depends on your taste and your wallet. ;-)
The best chocolate is expensive there is no beating around that. It will
make a huge difference in the final result.

Probably the best economical book on confections is Michael Recchiuti's book
Chocolate Obsession: Confections and Treats to Create and Savor.

Hope this helps,
