Distortion comes in many flavors, with overdrives being the milder ones, running through distortions and into "metal" distortions which are the most extreme. The Tube screamer and Blues Driver are 2 very popular overdrive units. when combined with a tube amp both cause a nice bluesy overdrive tone.
One suggestion I would make is to check out the boss website, they have a sampler CD so you can hear all of the effects. Many of the Effects companioes have sound samples available.
Everyone here has their personal favorite overdrives, its really a matter of taste. When ready to buy you might want to check out Harmony Central, or the garage sale. people are always selling overdrives they tried and didn't like.
