You can buy them from most on line retailers. As for which are best, you'll get a lot of opinions on this. When I use tapered leaders, I use Orvis, but that it not often these days as I use furled leaders for the majority of my fishing.

Make your own. Yesterday was the first time I used a tapered leader I made copying the video below. Tricky to get right but after a couple of tries I made a decent 5' one with 6lb mono. Truned a pair of bumbles over no problem and a size 10 daddy fished dry.

I used to use a lot of Orvis leaders and still do for swff but for river fishing i now use Varivas leaders almost exclusively.
