if you want a cheap one
look on ebay I paid about £3
I use the D-LINK DBT-120... works OTB for me with every distro I've tried (iAtkos, Kalyway, Zepyroth, Leo4All, iDeneb, LawlessPPC, iPC, etc... and Retail!)
there's a few listed here

I just bought a cheap generic one and kept my fingers crossed the info is in the included pic
both times I just picked ones labelled as Bluetooth BT 2.0 EDR
I've used a small, blue one by HAMA in the past for my AMD OSx86 machine - it worked out of the box with zephyroth's distros.
Here's a link (1a handyshop.de/hama-bluetooth-usbstick-class-reichweite-meter-windows-2000-vista-bluesoleiltreibern-p-60951.html). I'm not using it anymore, though, so if you need it, I'm confident that it'll be in good hands.
If you like to have it (e.g. sent to you via self-addressed stamped envelope), don't hesitate to drop me a private message.
I was using MSI bluetooth (broadcom) which was working great. I can tell you exact model name tonight when i get back home. I just paid for it a bit more, it was around 30eur (but it was 2 yrs ago).
I am using a Sitecom CN-500 on a vanilla Leopard 10.5.6, works OTB, but does not have a very strong signal.
