I-Click - Easier for people new to clicker training to use and better for dogs sensitive to loud noises. Less force is needed to push the button and make a clicking sound, making it easier for people with arthritis to use.
Box Style - The original clicker, makes a very loud noise. The disadvantage is that is may scare very sound sensitive dogs and that it has to pushed at exactly the right spot to make the noise. This could be a disadvantage if your dog does the desired behavior and you miss the opportunity by not having your finger on the correct part of the clicker. These are widely available and easily found at Petco and Petsmart.
Optional but very reccomended:
Treat Pouch - Keeps your pockets from getting greasy and full of crumbs. Can be stored with your clicker so you can instantly start training. Keeps your reward food instantly available, so you don't lose valuable seconds not reinforcing the behavior while you try to find that food in your greasy, oily, crummy pocket. Can be put on carbineer so it is instantly ready.
