Summary: Which type is best?

I just received my first Commodore 64 and would like to get a disk
drive for it.  My brother has a C-64C with a 1541 drive.  I want
the drive to be 100% compatible with my brothers so that we can
exchange 5 1/4 inch floppy disks and be assured that they will work
on my machine and vice versa.

I have heard that there are two similiar types of disk drives,
1541 and 1541C.  What are the differences?  Can I use a 1541C and
still be 100% compatible with a 1541???

Does any one in the local (Naperville, Lisle, Illinois) area
have a 1541 disk drive in good working condition that they are
willing to sell at a reasonable price ?
