First, you want to look for 'hands' that feel heavy for their size. Make sure the skin is smooth, unwrinkled and dry. In my store, there are all sorts of sizes - from the really big to the tiniest ones. If you're just getting enough for a couple of recipes, buy a smaller size and place it in a paper bag, storing it in the refrigerator. This method will keep your ginger fresh for about a week.
If you want to store your ginger, it's pretty easy. Separate the knobs from the hand and peel with a vegetable peeler. Put in a sterilized jar and cover with vodka. Screw the lid on tighter and store in the fridge for up to 3 months. After 3 months, you will have ginger vodka too! yummy.
