Check out Myler bits.  Pricey, but very good.

The bits are grouped by level (1,2,3) of the horse/rider training.  I bought
the paperback book they put out, narrowed it down to three bits, and then
e-mailed them with questions.  Received back a long, detailed message giving
me pros and cons of each of the three bits relative to the issues I'd
raised.

Their approach is that if the horse is resisting, go softer.
