They all pretty much perform the same. Arctic Silver is the most popular. The cooler should come with a tube of thermal paste or it may even have the paste pre-applied.

Here's a cheesy video that shows how to install the CPU and heatsink: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f09SQh6uIsU

Here's instructions on the correct way to apply thermal paste: Instructions for Arctic Silver 5

Yup, just a thin line as shown in the instructions and you'll be good to go.
