Lately I've been considering adding backdrops into my photography, but with little, well actually no expereince using backdrops and stands, Im not certain what I should be looking for.

The below site has a few prodcuts that seem to do the job, but I thought I would check with others here for input/suggestions/recommendations.

I like to look on big sites like b and h, or adorama and read a lot of reviews before buying.

I suggest that you do the same.

This is what I bought a few years back and it holds up well. The kit I bought had a sturdy telescopic crossbar instead of this one that has interlocking pieces. Basically it's just 2 heavy duty light stands w/ a cross bar and a bag to tote it around.

Steve Kaeser has been a longtime supplier of low-cost, decent merchandise. I've dealt with his outfit for over 20 years.
