Aprox,
First question, where are you located?
Borrow any equipment you can to find what you want. Hold it, wear it, fondle it, use it...to get an idea of what you want.

There is only one caliber of paint - 68 caliber. However, inside of that the sizes vary from .679 up to .692. I would worry about that later though.

Co2 is cheaper but does not offer the consistency of HPA

Purely subjective. I prefer people to start with pumps because they learn the game better that way. After the fundamentals are down they can go to semi and be a better player.

I recommend any of the V-Force masks. Just bought the Grille and love it. It is expensive but it also allows you to see, play and keep those eyeballs intact.
