You got to go Cleveland. If you are looking for a deal Sports Authority and Dick's still sell the older models brand with the old grooves. You will have until mid 2012 to buy the old grooves before the USGA rule changes officially I believe.
If you don't care the new zip groove CG15 Cleveland is great too. I have it in a 48.

I agree. Cleveland wedges always have a place in my bag.

I got the Taylormade with the replaceable faces. So far, so good.

I have 2 CG12 Black Pearl wedges and love them. The dark face is particularly nice on ultra-sunny days. I can't remember what my sand wedge is, but it's a Cleveland too (I destroy 56* wedges from being in the traps too much and chipping with SW).
I could be wrong on the zip grooves, but I think they will be allowed for amateur golf through 2014. They tear up golf balls fast, but it does make it easier to bite on hard greens.
The Titleist Vokey wedges are pretty good too, but I find them to be much less forgiving than the Clevelands.
You should try to find a place with an indoor hitting mat and try them all out. The weighting of the different wedges (not to mention bounce rating) will make them feel and play differently. If there is a Golf Galaxy near you I'd check it out, maybe you can even find used wedges for half the price.

Oh My!
Wedges can be very difficult in that you want to test them, as feel around the greens is important.
You also want to check the bounce and lie angle. If you play in tight fairways or fluffy sand a 56-8 will play different than a 56-14.
You may also want to see if your a 'digger'(big divot) or 'sweeper' (little or no divot)
Go off you PW for what degree to start with. I have a 47 PW and then a 50-56-60. I'll probably look at putting it at 51-57 or 58 and getting rid of the 60.
If you play a lot, you may look at getting a new set every year or so.
I had a couple of CG's but moved back to mizuno as they felt better. I'll probably get some Vokey's next year...well see!
Enjoy your new toys!

You got to try them both if you can. I get more spin with my CG12 than my new zip groove CG15.

If I were you I'd find a course with a good pro shop and play some clubs first before settling on a set. Really, recommendations are no good unless you feel right with the clubs. It's hit or miss, all about feel and that is a personal preference.
