Well, you certainly can't go wrong with Alien Bees. I have a set of six, but I generally only use three at a time.
Constant lighting or "hot lights" aren't a terrible way to learn, but if you go that route. Don't buy photo kits. Go to a home improvement store and buy some cheap shop lights. That will help you learn and also help you save your $ for strobes in the future.
Hot lights are limiting in that they don't put out a LOT of light so you won't be getting to stop down much.
