Depends a lot on what you are doing with them. If you are just cutting straight through steel get the skinniest ones you can find. But if you are going to cut collectors and suck get something a little thicker so they will be stiffer.
I get mine from a construction store (well actually I take them from my company truck that has them from a construction store ) So I don't even know what brand they are. But I have used Dewalt's wheels before and they didn't last very long at all.

dewalts wheels wear out way fast.

I generally use the Norton blades from the Depot. I have got some warped from the get go so be careful. I never use my chop saw anymore anyway. I use my bandsaw for everything.

Bandsaws rock, if for any other reason than to just get to sit on your *** for a few minutes while it makes a nice cut.
