I'd planned to buy a baritone, but visited the local uke sessions and tried several instruments. In practice I found both tenor and concert were generally OK and even soprano didn't seem too small for my rather chunky fingers (I have trouble with synth keyboards where I can play F#, G and Ab with just one finger on the G).

I ended up buying from a ukulele-dedicated store here in the UK, having been by the "we know how to set them up properly and we do set them all up properly" pitch. Their prices were reasonable, they didn't sell junk and postage was included. I used southernukulelestore.co.uk but I think others are likely also good. They have very useful video reviews.
