Invitrogen have a set of vectors designated pRSET that have a 6xHis tag
and an EK cleavage site, if that's important to you. They are under T7
control and work fine in BL21(DE3) in my experience. 6xHis is good for one
step of your purification, but you probably want to also include ion
exchange or gel filtration as well.
