Jeff, I'm new at this also, but I just ordered a pair of tinted-lens glasses to be worn as sunglasses. As near as I can tell, any regular frame can be ordered with either tinted, polarized or photochromic lenses. There are also some frames on some sites that are designated as "sunglasses." They have a certain look to them that differs in style from ordinary frames, and they're usually more expensive than ordinary frames.
What I would to is make a little spreadsheet that lists each online vendor, the cost of polarized lenses, cost of any additional coatings you want, and shipping costs. Also list whatever discounts are available, like the 5-15 percent discounts that Ira links to on the left of the glassyeyes.com page. That should give you a fixed cost for each vendor. The variable cost is the cost of the frames, which will vary from vendor to vendor (even if they happen to have the same frame in stock). Or, you may have a frame in good condition in which you want to install new lenses. It may be a bit of work to create the spreadsheet, but once you're done you can easily compare.
