A copperhead would probably be the best to start with. It probably won't kill you if you get tagged but it'll hurt like Hell.
The dusky rattlesnakes are cool too, they stay smaller and don't pack the punch of the larger rattlers like the Eastern or Western diamondbacks.
You will first want to make sure that it is legal for you to keep them in the city you live in.
As for where to get something, you would be better off picking one up locally versus having one shipped with only a few legal ways of shipping hots and the costs are high with a $25 dollar box charge on top of the actual shipping costs. There are a few people who breed and or resell hots in Michigan who may have something you are looking for. If you can't find anything / anyone let me know and I'll make some inquiries as I used to live in Michigan and still know a number of people up there.
