If you think you will be mostly a studio guy, or at least a full size flash guy (and especially a Paul C Buff guy), then the Cyber Commander set up would be awesome if they are in the budget, something to grow with for sure. It would give you fingertip control, right from the camera.

If you think you might like to mix in some Canon strobes for location work at some point, you might want to look into the Radiopoppers. You could start with the JrX Studio set which would give you control of the power of your Alien Bee's for now, and in the future they would mix with your ETTL Canon strobes if you upgrade to the PX Transmitter. You would need PX receivers for the Canon strobes, but you can keep the Jr's on your alien bees...

And of course... If your in a small white room right now, you probably don't need any wireless set up, you could just run a sync cord to a single strobe to fire them off optically, or use an on camera light to do it. Of course you will need to set your power levels at the flash and not the camera.
I haven't tried the ebay triggers, but that would be a cheap way to trigger as well.
