Div Watcher has summarized it well above.
Cant go wrong with Canadian banks if you dont mind the currency fluctuations. But in the US, I really like (and own) WFC. I havent done a full analysis lately, but its a solid company and cant go wrong with it. There's a reason its Berkshire's top holding company.
REITs are also a great income play - I own O, OHI, VTR (and the new spinoff CCP) in the space. I agree with DivWatcher's comment - OHI's valuation is great, O not so much.
Tech - I own AAPL and QCOM. Great long term stories and great valuations currently. Also, have a look at MSFT, TXN in the space, which are great long term plays with DGI track records.
Nothing wrong with going with a ETF imo. I used to own an ETF in the Utilities space for years until I could understand and figure out hte industry better. Once I had a better understanding, I decided to liquidate and went with individual stocks instead.
