the only thing i really notice with the different brands are the level or padding in the equipment and style (how they do up..etc), the jofa shoulder pads are nicer than ccm, imo and for shin and pants i wear ccm. gloves get new though, as they'll wear to your fit after awhile, used gloves would be terrible!
At most sporting goods stores you can get the body type suits that you can wear under your equipment, I swear by mine, seems to absorb most of the sweat keeping it out of my equipment, although any good cotton clothes should do the same.
don't forget the protective cup too!
