When you use the term stack with regard to the chip, I assume you are
talking about the HCI portion of the stack.
Apple has provided an implementation of the upper layers of the stack
(L2CAP, RFCOMM, SDP, OBEX) and a driver for a USB implementation of the
HCI layer. If the chip you use supports the USB HCI specification your
module should just work with the software provided by Apple. If you
choose to go the Serial route, you will need to provide an OS X driver
which will interface between the Apple stack, and your serial hardware.
Most Bluetooth chip providers have a USB version of their silicon. If
the chip vendor supports the USB transport according the the spec (Part
H:2 if you are looking at the 1.1 spec) our driver should work with it.

What advice could you give me for selecting a good chip (preferably with
stack onchip)?
Maybe a list of manufactures would be nice.
