Tony Horton openly endorses Bowflex Selecttech 552 adjustable dumbbells in the P90X Plus series. These little jewels allow you to have one dumbbell that can be changed from 5 to 52.5 pounds with just a quick spin of a dial. These puppies are expensive, at least in my book ($399). I often advocate spending as little money as possible for exercising.
The reason I decided to go with the Bowflex Selecttech dumbbells as my progress in the P90X program caused me to need more weights, a good thing of sorts. Rather than buy several sets of weights from the "used" sports store, I went with one adjustable set. Ultimately, even with the big point price the Bowflex Selecttech ended up costing less. The Selecttech takes up less space, and truthfully they are kind of neat. Another benefit is the plastic hand grips are easy on the palms during workouts.
I'm not suggesting you run out and buy a set. I just want to note that I have been very happy with my purchase. Below is a link for more information:

One final comment, I did NOT spend the money for the stands, which quite frankly look unstable and unsafe. I use an old side table for the weights. It's sturdy and does the job very well at a much lower price :-)
Run and Resistance. BFF.
