I've always just bought the cheapest possible adapter, and they all seem
to work perfectly fine with Ubuntu. Or, rather, well enough as compared
to any other. The Linux bluetooth stack is not very mature yet, so
there's often some hassle getting the devices bonded to the computer,
but that doesn't seem to vary from adaptor to adaptor.

I think that they're all pretty much standard, and that the Alsa driver
for headsets pretty much works with every one. I haven't tried a super
wide range, but the cheap couple I've bought off eBay have both worked
fine, so I assume it's a generic standard.
