active are battery powered. they flick an lcd film on and off in each lense a few hundred times a minute in corrispondance with the image on the screen, confusing your eyes into seeing the 3D image.
passive are the type you get in the cinema.
i'd go for the passive type. less weight, seem to be clearer, dont have to keep buying batterys

I would've thought you need whatever kind your TV supports.

Yup, plus each manufacturer usually has their own 'version' so you're pretty much stuck buying official glasses

Glasses will be dependant on exact model.
Last years Samsung's use IR for instance, this years some proprietary bluetooth.
