At the basic levels, you learn the same skills for any of the scuba agencies.
As far as what's best, you'll get a ton of "xxx brand" is the best, because I use it!
The best gear is what your comfortable in. Wetsuits need to fit snugly, but not too tight as to restrict movement.
BC's are, again, what your comfortable in. I prefer back-inflate, where my wife prefers jacket style BC's. Also, for BC's, you need to consider your future in diving. If you plan on technical diving, save yourself the cash, and go with a backplate / wing combo now.
The best regulators and gauges are anything you can have serviced locally. If you can't get a reg its yearly service, it's wotrhless. It's not fun having to ship your regs out to somewhere.
Tanks, if you plan on staying a recreational diver, aluminum is fine. Steel tanks you can double up if you plan on technical diving in the future.
