For strobe lighting, Alien Bees are very inexpensive and provide quite a big bang for the buck if you are on a budget. I shoot sometimes as many as one thousand photos in a single day and literally tens of thousands of images in a month every month almost all of them using off camera lighting and they have been a workhorse for me. I routinely use them anywhere from full power down to 1/16th or so and everything in between and the color temperatures been consistent for me.
I have three B800 series heads with different modifiers. I mostly use the shoot through umbrellas since they are easy to set up and move around and I like the light they throw. The stands that come with the kit are rather lightweight plastic so you either have to handle them gingerly and sandbag them if outdoors in the wind or around anyone clumsy or upgrade to some better stands, but that's not a big deal.
