I use both Polar and Camelbak bottles, but actually prefer a mix, the more rigid Polar insulated body with the Camelbak lids. So get one of each and see which you prefer. I use 25oz bottles, but if you're mainly doing shorter distances, the 20oz bottles can work fine.

Helmets are all about fit, I strongly suggest you use your local bike shop to find what works best for your head. All helmets meet the same safety standard, the higher priced models are usually lighter and have more cooling and/or winter liners.

Pearl Izumi makes good clothing for all levels of cycling, they're a good start for your clothing needs.
