Any particular one I should get, and where should I get it from?
I need it within the next 2 weeks.

Hi Mike,
This thread has come up before and those who have replied that the
Keyspan one is the one to go for are providing excellent advice.
Suffice to say we are well qualified to offer advice on this topic as well.
Despite what one might hope, not all USB Serial Adapters are born equal
and many just don't reliably work.
However, the Keyspan one will.
Since we get to deal with thousands of astronomy customers, we learnt
through enormous amounts of feedback what adapters people had luck
with and which ones they did not.
The Keyspan Adapter came up trumps again and again and again.
So we decided years ago to stock the Keyspan as a service to our customers.
Since then we have shipped large quantities of them.
In fact, the reason we stock them is partially selfish. I know when we ship one to
some far flung corner of the world that I am not going to get a support
call for it, so that means less work for me.
Drop me a line if interested. We have them in stock.
