Here is a couple of threads about areobars discussed in the past.

The clip ons typically run anywhere from $85 - $120.
I actually went to a store which had several bikes with different areo bar setups. Then I took the different bikes for test rides to see the difference in the bars.

Get yourself a set of clip on aero bars to start; the Profile Century bars are only 55$ at Nashbar. Remember that when you do use your aero bars you must advance your seat forward a few centimetres; the exact distance is up to you. Your best bet is to have a reputable bike mechanic who is knowledgeable aout triathlons adjust the set up for you.
