What I learned:
The shank doesn't need to be different.
There are quite a few Guinness taps on ebay
Your best bet is to get a beer-gas mix from Airgas
Get a NO2 regulator online.

I recently put a nitro setup together. All parts were new and I got my beergas from Airgas on a tank swap. By the time I added in a set of disconnects, an MFL barbed fitting, and a few feet of hose the cost for the setup came in right around $200 (not including gas).
Went with this tank and regulator:

This faucet:

Airgas had the same size tank of beergas in stock, so I swapped my new one. Cost for the gas was $37. Not sure what it would have been if I had bought the tank from them. I'd check with them before buying your own, though, to see what they have on-hand.
Before going to Airgas, I stopped at General Air and they would not fill my tank. Said it was too small and not worth the effort. Told me they could sell me what must have been a 60 CF tank for about $100 + another $20 or so for gas, which would have been a better deal in the long run, but it was too big to fit in my fridge and I didn't want to drill holes, so I declined and that's when I ended up at Airgas.
