I haven't seen anything that's oriented toward what products are good,
but there are some good mailing lists and newsgroups that talk about
cryptography, typically implementation thereof.

Information that you'll pick up from there will give you some ideas
about what algorithms and such are generally trusted, which are not,
and that sort of thing.  But it'll still be up to you to ask questions
of the vendors and choose something that makes sense.

Also, my "Snake Oil FAQ" is a good start to getting a quick
understanding of the kinds of things to generally be aware of when
thinking about getting a crypto solution.
