I tried for a long time to make this.  Recipes I saw were complicated,
used oil & vinegar & eggs (like making mayo + some other stuff).  None
really worked the way I liked.  So I struck out on my own.  The best ones
I came up with are very simple, a lot like making a dip.  Here goes.

Blue Cheese Dressing 1 :
Mix equal amounts of crumbled blue cheese and sour cream.  Add a little
lemon juice if you like.

Blue Cheese Dressing 2 : (less caloric, less creamy, but good!)
Use yoghurt instead of sour cream in recipe 1.

I tried using mayo, but it doesn't taste right.
As far as choices of blue cheese goes, I can think of worse fates than
tried the brands available locally.  Most cheese stores will give you
a taste (unless it is in a prewrapped package).  Stilton (English blue
cheese) will also do very nicely.  Just pick your favorite.

For my favorite application, try using it on a salad of bitter endive or
escarole and fresh tomatoes (ie: real, not those icky fake tomato 
dopplegangers most stores carry most of the year).  A little other greens
such as spinach or sweet lettuce may be mixed in also, or some fresh
cut mushrooms, but the bitter + crunchy (endive) + sour + creamy (cheese) 
+ tart + sweet (tomato) is orgasmic!
