I really like the Antenna Factor GPS-SH: http://tinyurl.com/2fxm6n7

I've bought them from Mouser but it looks like you might be able to
order direct from the manufacturer.

They seem to outperform the China clones by several dB, and have a
relatively narrow (~60MHz) bandpass filter at the antenna that reduces
out-of-band noise.

Don't forget to use a ground plane.
