So I currently have a 20W light on a 29 gallon (diy) CO2 tank. I am realizing now that I am going to need new lighting, what would be the best possible light I could get on the tank, and where would be the place to buy one.

I use the 24" version of this one over my 29 gallon tank. They didn't have the 30" version (which would fit the top of a 29 gallon) when I bought mine. At any rate, my plants look great and grow well, so I am quite satisfied and really recommend it. It will allow you to grow medium light plants and down.
 
It really depends on what you want with regards to plants. The link Harlock provided would give you 2.2wpg. Good enough for low to medium light plants.
