you could get a hard one, but that could get a little uncomfortable in your mouth all night.... :-P
seriously, i used a soft one for awhile. it makes a big difference if you sometimes wake up with a sore jaw and a headache. wear it for a week straight and you will be amazed. the big difference with the one the dentist gets you is that they take an impression before they make it, so it fits your mouth exactly. the ones you pick up at the store are generally sports-guards. you can mold one of those to your mouth by sticking it in boiling water, then pulling it out and pressing it in place. it's really easy, actually. the only caveat there is that there tends to be extra material around the edges, so you might need to trim it with a pair of scissors or an exacto knife.
