Loreal Feria is the best, I used it a few times on my hair and they came out great!

When I had highlights they were such a pain to keep up, so a couple years ago I just started dyeing my hair a warmer version of my natural color. It's SO much easier to maintain and is easier on your hair than highlights. It'll give you more time between colorings too, just keep that in mind.
Anyway.
If you still want highlights, I recommend anything by Garnier. Whenever I do my own hair I use those dyes and my hair has never suffered as a result. One of my friends is a cosmetology student, and she says that Garnier dye is easier on hair because of some sort of chemical in it? I trust her judgement :] I do NOT recommend the Ultra-Lift Browns, because I turned my hair orange that way.
Highlighting wands take a bit of getting used to. The day before, I recommend using conditioner for practice. And put an even layer of the mixture, because a glob here and there WILL make the highlight more intense in that spot!
Loreal makes this Colour Expert or something... its hairdye AND highlight in the same box. I tried it once, and it worked really well (but as I said before, I got sick of highlights, so I never used to again). It's a higher-end dye too, so it's not bad stuff.
Since this answer is already really long, I might as well add this: you don't need expensive conditioner and shampoo to maintain your color! Pantene is safe for color, and I love what it does for my hair. It prevents split ends and makes it ohsosoft! If you do want to buy salon stuff, shampoo is the product to splurge on. Cheap shampoo can strip away dye, but cheap conditioner usually just doesn't moisturize too well.
