Just get whatever has good reviews within your budget. Arctic Silver is one of the well-known ones, but performance between entry and high-end is within a few degrees of each other.

Also, many coolers come with a small tube of paste or with paste pre-applied. Check the product information before you run out and buy some (though you'll need to re-apply at sometime, I guarantee it, so buying some now might save you frustration during the build if you smudge what it comes with).
