Nearly all breadboards are build in a similar fashion, so it really comes down to the size of the breadboard you will need.  Breadboards come in usually three sizes: mini, half and full.  Half and full sized breadboards have tabs on the side which allows the linking of several boards together.  Alternately, a power bus may be attached to the sides of the breadboard, and will most likely be included in a breadboard you purchase.  I would suggest if you are just getting started, purchase a full-sized breadboard.

You can find breadboards at just about any electronics shop (radioshack or theSource for example).
You can also purchase them online from places like this (http://www.futurlec.com/Breadboards.shtml) or eBay.
