but there just isn't enough info about which tool I need.
Sears has a bunch of them, but I need some tips on what to look for..

Rich,
As a disclaimer:

But I did mine myself and it's working just great.
I didn't change my lineset, so you will need to verify that the R-410a flare fitting is not substantially different from other flare fittings. I do think it has a different diameter but you should still be able to use common flare tools.
Will you be doing the entire install yourself?
I installed mine, and I can tell you what I did, if you are interested...
