Great questions, I am also in the market to pick up a drift sock for my boat!!!!
I have looked at some on Ebay and some on Cabelas. As for size they usually are rated for different size boats compared to sock size. I think i might go a bit larger than recommended for my boat just to get a good slow drift. Most drift socks come with a rope and you just tie it off to a cleat. Most situations I see myself using a drift sock is in open water for trying to cover a large area just floating but cutting down the wind drifting my boat too fast.
