The best known name in the UK market is probably Lee filters. Top quality but also quite expensive. The ND grads are Cokin 'Z' size - 100mm x 150mm (4 x 6 inches) and come in hard and soft cut versions. Another manufacturer is Formatt Filters, who make the Hitech range, newly available as 150 x 100 (were 125 x 100) and also in the Cokin 'P' sizes if required. Again they come in hard and soft cut - just got myself a set of "hards" and they seem much better than the Cokin ones.
In the US, a very good name is Singh-Ray. they also do a "reverse grad" that is still half clear and half ND but is darkest in the middle, to help on shots where the Sun is on or near the horizon - very often the brightest part of the sky is the bit near to the land! I believe they can be a bit pricey and i'm not sure if you can get the 83mm Cokin 'P size (might be 85mm, can't remember!).
Hope that helps....Google will turn up websites for all the above manufacturers...
cheers
Dave
