So are you planning to actually show your kitten? If not, then there's (so far as I know) absolutely no reason not to get a "pet" quality cat, unless you feel strongly about having one with a perfect bengal appearance. You still want to use a genuine breeder, of course, but buying a show quality cat will definitely cost you more. Some of the breeders on here will be able to tell you more, of course.
My advice is, look at how the kitten behaves when you first go to meet it. My kitten was living in a house along with small children, and it seemed completely unfazed. That gave me confidence that it would handle my relatively quieter home perfectly well. Try to meet the parents if you can, since that will give you an idea of what it'll look and behave like when it's older.
I can recommend one breeder in London, Barbary Bengals. But I don't think any of their queens will be in kitten for a while yet (they just had kittens recently).
