Which blues harp should I buy

I've been thinking for awhile now about adding some simple blues harp to my
repertoire. Just really plain simple for starters, but I cannot seem to find
out which one I should buy, though I know what I am looking for:

What I want is a harp that can be used in the standard "funk jam in E
dorian/mixolydian" situation - I guess that would take two harps, like an
A-harp for Mixolydian and a D-harp for Dorian. Is this correct?

Then I tried reading here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blues_harp

But the entry about the Lee Oscar harp being different from a 'normal' blues
harp got me confused. I was planning on buying a Lee Oscar harp, but now I'm
no longer sure.

Any recommendations from some of you who may have some experience playing
both bass and harp what would be best for me?
