What do you guys prefer in terms of chest protectors (i.e., Wilson Platinum/Gold, Gerry Davis, Honigs, etc.) and shin guards (i.e., double-knee, single-knee). I'm going to have to purchase all my equipment new and was wondering what insight you guys might have since I'm not too familiar with the different types. Which is more comfortable, what can't you live without, etc.?
Thanks for your input, guys.

When I was young I sold shoes in a shoe store as a part time job, and some folks just loved certain types of shoes and some folks loved completely opposite types of shoes. You have to decide what YOU like. However, if you think you want to advance you should buy good stuff to start with and not have to constantly upgrade. It also depends on the level of ball you will be doing. What I can't live without is some kind of underguarments designed to wick moisture away, UnderArmour, McDavid, etc to keep me cooler on hot days.
