17/32"
1/2"
9/16"
of course there are other brands and sellers, but these ones look good.
The general rule is 17/32" for springers, 9/16" for airguns.
For most blasters you just need a length of 17/32" as long as the dart (~3"). You only really mess with longer brass barrels when you have a lot of power (airguns, high volume springers, etc).
Also, you're going to have trouble finding brass at Home Depot. Here's some Amazon links:

You can also find it on McMaster, or supposedly in hobby stores.

It's good to know that the stuff OutofDarts sells on his Etsy store is a bit cheaper.

No ACE near me, but you can get it shipped from Amazon for a little bit more:

Sellers / prices vary. Last I ordered, there was a 3 pack that was the best deal, but currently it's $5.62-$6.32 for a single 12" tube depending on if you want prime shipping or can wait longer.
Pacific Northwest. Personally, I've had trouble finding it at hobby/craft stores, but I've seen it in two different Ace Hardwares. Your best bet would be to just check any hardware stores or hobby stores near you, or any other place that seems like it might carry stuff like that. If all else fails, you can buy it online:
