I'm a casual golfer (a couple times a month is like the peak of the season for me, although we can play year-round here). I don't think brand names are all that important. You want your irons cavity-backed, with tip weighting. I have a Great Big Bertha driver that does me well, and an Odyssey putter that is my cash club. Ever since I bought that thing, my putts are laser. I'm not sure if it's the putter or me.
For golfers at my level (and probably at yours), I pretty much feel like the quality of the tools contribute a very small amount to the quality of play. I can mangle a shot with pretty much any stick in my bag, and recent advances in driver technology have enabled me to hit my ball farther out of bounds than ever before. As long as you're not trying to hit with forged muscle-back irons or something, any clubs ought to be more or less okay for you.
