You're talking about the cone triggers that you have to drill and install internally right? I recall 2slow doing an excellent tutorial thread on how it's done so you might check that out. As for what kinds of triggers you should get for acoustic conversion purposes, I have found drumdial triggers to be the overall best deal. Pulse makes some of the most affordable ones i've seen, but I found them to be a little too sensitive and I didn't like their method for installation either. The drumdials are inexpensive, lock in place(nonslip) with soft rubber guards, and are very easy to use.
There are other trigger options out there but honestly I just don't think I needed to pay more for what I thought was the same thing. The DD triggers can be had in packs of 5 for approximately $40-$56 depending on whether you buy ones with or without the rubber guards. After you get your triggers, you will need:
Muffling or Mesh heads
Drum module
1/4" instrument cables
Headphones or an amp for volume
HiHat controller pedal
Cymbals
Remember, those drums have to be dead as a corpse so you don't get any interfering sounds. Mesh heads will have some more bounce, but you can keep your regular drumheads on if you go the muffling route. Hart magnums are durable single ply and come in a lot of sizes but are quite costly, Pearl mesh is a bit weaker but also comes in a lot of sizes and is less expensive. Remo makes internal mufflers if you don't mind a brief head swap every time you need the kit for acoustic needs. Cable choice is a matter of preference, but I found whirlwind cables to be the cheapest and get me going the soonest.
The cymbals are another story entirely, and can get quite expensive or relatively inexpensive depending which route you go. You can get electronic cymbals with rubber surfaces such as the Roland CY-8's, or the slightly more realistic feeling Alesis Surge line. If you're like me and don't have that kind of cash, you have one of two options left. You could get cymbal mutes and tape the trigger sensors underneath them, or you can get a couple of frisbees, attach appropriately sized mousepad cutouts for the strike area and then attach the trigger underneath.
Lastly, don't forget the hi hat pedal. You will need something like an Alesis RealHat or a Roland KD-8 to work the hat pedal for open/close sounds, but it can also act as a double kick if set up correctly.
