Well, I'm finally past the tipping point. I've had about a half dozen people recommend this show to me in the last week and I feel like I no longer have any excuse not to at least take a look. But in browsing Amazon, I see a number of miniseries, TV shows, and TV movies that bear the BSG name. Is the cast and crew the same for all of these productions? Is the tone and quality consistent across each format? And where should I begin if I wanted to get into the show? Your advice is appreciated.

There are two BSG's that I'm aware of. The old school one from way back when, and the new one that is still running (season 4 is about to start)

The new one is the one everyone would be telling you about. It began with a miniseries/tv movie that was essentially just a super long pilot episode and then went directly into season 1 proper.

I would recommend watching it all in order though. Its not one of those shows you can just pick up at any point and expect to know whats going on.
