I am trying to record the expense for a cash withdrawal from our personal bank account that was used to pay a vendor. What account would be used? Thanks!

There are several ways to record this.  IMO, it's best to create a bank account in QB called 'Clearing Account'.  Then, enter the vendor bill and pay it using the Clearing Account.  Then, make a journal entry (New > Journal entry), debit the Clearing Account and credit the appropriate owner's equity account based on the type of business it is (Owner's Draw/Capital for sole proprietorship, Shareholder Contribution for S-Corp, etc.).  That will book the expense and a corresponding increase in your equity based on the cash used to pay the vendor.  It also creates a bill that is listed under the vendor's account and will show up on reports.
