I highly recommend Meyer's lemon, which is quite precocious, has over 
large tasty lemons, does quite well in a southern window in a dry house 
in the winter.  Depending on when your's flowers, you may have to hand 
pollinate if it flowers when it's indoors.  As with all container 
citrus you need to keep an eye on brown scale which can get out of 
control in an indoor space where the plants are not being sprayed 
regularly.  I've gotten mine from Michael McConkey's Edible Landscaping 
(http://www.eat-it.com/) ...
