I'm pretty much in the same boat. I read Shunryu Suzuki's Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind and became very interested in the Soto school. I have to say that the Kwan Um Zen monks have the most interesting things to say though (but probably the hardest to interpret as well). I participated in a group a couple times of the Kwan Um Zen, but I have to say I didn't like all the bowing and prostrations (108 is also quite a few, left me very tired and with my heart racing trying to meditate). Soto just seems to make the most sense. Much more of an axiomatic philosophy.
