Favorite weights?

My family is moving into a new house at the end of the month. With that, we'll have the room to have our own little exercise room, and we really want to get some free weights. I'm looking for what everyone has for a favorite- weights, benches, bars, barbells, etc, I want it all! What do you like, what has the best durability, best comfort? What have you DISLIKED and would advise staying away from?

    Are you looking for specific brand suggestions or what?

    If you're just looking for a general overview, get a power rack, a bench, an olympic bar and a variety of plates. Bonus would be a rack of dumbbells or some adjustable ones (the Bowflex Selectech ones are nice and compact). Extra bonus if the power rack has a pull-up bar and dip attachments. You'd pretty much be set for doing all useful exercises with this setup.

    I have checked out EliteFTS power racks and they seem to be very nice with a big customization range.
