Where's the best/cheapest place to buy one of these and is there a specific model that is best?  (I noticed there are double hook, single hook versions).  Are there any accessories you need in addition to the trigger group itself?

Look under your trigger guard, if you see one notch you have a single spring trigger two notch's it's a double spring. You can find the Tapco triggers at many online firearm sites. In the small cleaning kit that comes with many AKs there is a small pin, it's used to hold the trigger and spring in place so you can drive the retaining pins through your rifles housing.

I always wondered what difference does a double hooked trigger make versus a single hooked trigger?

The firearm's receiver determines which is possible, and there's not much difference in performance.  A double hook receiver simply has an extra notch cut.

The AK originally had a double hook trigger. One hook was eliminated in the AKM to allow the installation of the hammer retarder/rate reducer/anti-bounce device.
Double hook triggers seem lighter to me and the two I own have a measurably lighter pull  than my single hook triggers. There are many people who feel the opposite is true.

There was a warning a while ago against using a single hook trigger with certain NoDakSpud AK receivers. In certain receivers, a single hook trigger could malfunction and let the gun double or triple.

Out of 4 AK's and  Draco Pistol I think the Tapco G2 is smoother than my other double hooks.

I've installed two of the G2 single hook assemblies in my AK's both work great. Do yourself a big favor and buy the retainer plate that replaces the shepherds crook. It makes re-assembly a lot easier and if you have young kids keeps you from teaching them some words they probably shouldn't hear. The plate only costs a couple bucks and is well worth the money.
