http://www.savingforcollege.com/  I'm not affiliated with the site, but have used it personally and professionally.  It's a good resource.

If you're talking about 529 savings plans (as opposed to 529 prepaid tuition plans), use the one your state offers IF they give you a tax deduction for your contributions.  Otherwise, pick a plan from a state that offers the lowest expenses.  The plans from Utah, Ohio, and Illinois get mentioned a lot as having low expense ratios.  Good luck.
