Yeast for a stout

[algernon]

I am thinking of brewing my first stout and i would like to know if anyone had any suggestions for the type of yeast to use? I would appreciate the help in my time of noobieness.

Got any idea if you're going British vs. US flavors in your stout?

US style: Pacman, Denny's Favorite (Wyeast 1450), or 1272
British: Fuller's (1968), Boddington's (1318), or Scottish (1728, although pretty clean for British beer)

And by British vs. American I mean slightly estery with a touch of diacetyl vs. clean and dry.
