Savage is one more brand, but there are a few others as well.

Some just make the stands and top rail (Manfrotto), others make complete kits and offer products to hang on them.

Adorama has a lot of muslins available. Paper on the roll, too, if you prefer.

Spend some time poking around B&H and Adorama... They have all sorts of back drop solutions.

You mainly need to decide your requirements. Is it for head & shoulder shots, that would allow you to use a small, very portable rig? Or, do you need a 9' tall background and seamless that comes 12 or 15' out onto the floor? Or, something in between?

Or go with a chroma key and drop in any background you wish digitally!

Oh, for Pete's sake, why don't you just google it or use the search function here on POTN. What might work for me, might not work for you. Do you plan on setting up a studio or are you going to make it portable. I'm all for asking advice on something here. I've done it, but don't make someone else do your work for you.

Really.

Are you wanting portable? There isn't such a thing if you are talking backdrop for a group. You will need a 12 foot stand with pole and then fabric or paper. I have the blue paper roll for single model portraits. It works well. Then I have the terrible large frame for larger groups. It's really not that portable with the boxes of paper or fabric, but you get the point.

The B&H and Adorama and Amvona catalogs are very useful. You can see what the backdrops are like. Personally, for a group shot, outdoors in a good spot is much better than trying to fit everyone in front of a backdrop. And how much do you want to spend? If cost is an issue, you really don't need a backdrop.
