Probably not at many places up north yet, but I can't verify that. So you may need to roll your own.
I use Grade B Madagascar Bourbon (which are pretty much all actually grown in Mexico). Link.
But you probably can't do a better job of explaining the different vanilla options than Denny Conn.
If you look for them at your regular chain supermarket they are likely to be ridiculously expensive. I order mine online in bulk and keep them vacuum sealed. My last order was a year ago, and they are still smelling and looking fresh. I believe I got them from Vanilla Products on amazon, http://www.amazon.com/ounces-Madagascar-Bourbon-Vanilla-SHIPPING/dp/B00C76DP7A/ref=sr_1_11?s=grocery&ie=UTF8&qid=1371493015&sr=1-11
Vanilla bean is my vote!
I use Massey paste for great flavor & color. Don't have a heart attack when you see the price. Premium vanilla is insane right now.

Amazon has 10 Tahitian vanilla beans for $8.44 after shipping.
Aside from vanilla beans themselves this is the best vanilla product I've come across.
Never done the vodka and vanilla beans thing you've done though.

Found it on Amazon.
penzeys, massey bean paste
