Speedtrap mentions a couple of key points. Right now I would get just one strobe light, an 8' light stand, 2 umbrellas (45" and 60"), and a 5-in-1 reflector.
What modifiers will work on what lights. The Flashpoint lights Blake mentioned will accept one brand of modifiers while Genesis lights Calumet Genesis 200 2-Light Kit will accept a different brand of modifiers (compatible with Elinchrom Speedrings) .
Alien Bee's have some color drift when the power levels are adjusted, and backwards from most strobes, the flash duration gets longer at lower power settings. However, many use them because the price is attractive and Paul C. Buff's customer service is very good..
