How did you find them, and at what point did you decide you needed to seek one?

You are a writer... so use some of those creative skills to do research.
No one person can tell you who to use as an agent. Agents have niches, and the right one for you will depend on YOU and your manuscript. Make sure you know the difference between an agent, and a scam artist. Find agent and editor blogs and begin reading them, to see if your story is a match for the type of thing they represent.
This http://www.anotherealm.com/prededitors/ is another good source. I have some idea of what to avoid--just looking for a place to start among what is good out there!

For anyone who wishes to peer into the mind of a literary agent, Miss Snark is currently conducting the Happy Hooker Crapometer. It's too late to enter, but it's never too late to learn from the mistakes of others.

Yeah, someone mentioned Miss Snark's blog was worth looking at.
